The Looney Left is right ... you Freepers don't need your #%&*# guns when you go hunting ... cause the professor has proven that if you ever face a bear like this one, a simple squirt of pepper spray will convince the beast not to kill you.

I have a can of bear spray. I use it when I walk my dog.

Got menaced up close and personal bout 3 months back down a lonely road by a massive pitbull that made my 100lb. german shepard look small.

The dog stood about 5 feet away from me. I pulled the can, shook it, sprayed, and the cone dissapated before it ever hit the dog. It missed. However, the spray action itself seemd to convince the dog to leave.

Lucky us.

If I go in the woods, I’m bringing my rifle and my .44 magnum.

That is all.

As I recall, you should wear bells to scare the bear off. /s

They do have a point. If you don’t have the right firearm all you’ll do is anger the bear, especially a brown bear. IIRC correctly Lewis and Clark record in their journals how their men found their firearms couldn’t take down one. And who can forget Jeremiah Johnson always trying to find a .50 cal rifle?

"Even if you do kill the bear, that's still a problem, given declining populations.."

If it were true that bear spray would save my life more reliably than a gun I'd be glad to learn. But these jerk's priorities are so bizarre you can't believe a word they say.

I think if I unload 30 rounds from my AK in a bear’s general direction that it will go down.

That guy is definitely a candidate for the Darwin Award, looking at his photo with those polar bears.

They'll be calling him the late Professor Tom Smith pretty soon.

They’re probably assuming most bears wear bulletproof vests.

(Even if you do kill the bear, that’s still a problem, given declining populations and the the loss of what a bear can contribute both economically and ecologically.)

So the professor thinks that you getting killed by the bear is better than you killing the bear, because of “what a bear can contribute both economically and ecologically”. Call me crazy, but I think a human being is more precious than a bear, except maybe for the professor! I would gladly trade his worthless hide for a bear any day.

Well, if you’re Kanawa, a six-inch hunting knife (and a good dog), go a long way.

If correct, Tom Smith’s theory should have predictive value: if he’s a true scientist I suggest he put it to the test against a suitable number of bears in the wild (N>7 at least for statistical significance), and publish the results.

My grandmother once attacked a bear with a jar of mayonnaise. Then I think my grandfather shot it.

"It's a conservation issue in that we'll see needless bear mortalities," Smith said."

Hey Smith, you nimrod......can't have it both ways with your cutesy little "research". Either you can off a bear with a gun or you can't. Which is it, sparky?

"There is nothing in this study to contradict common sense," he said.

Liberals always are well aware of the essence of whatever perversity they are pushing. They are taught by Leftists to go right to it, and declare it's opposite, in order to create extreme cognitive dissonance in their targets (and force the self-rape of themselves to deny the shame that would otherwise make them unable to push the perversity for their Leftist masters).

So, Perversity: "Study shows that drinking water won't quench your thirst."

Cognitive dissonance: "There is nothing in this study to contradict common sense" - or - "the only people who disagree are known racists" - or - "disbelief in this common sense conclusion reveals hatred for women."

See, it's like building blocks. Learn to parse their mind f***ing, and you can simply and easily deconstruct what it took them years of secret society handshakes to learn.
