Watch out for those Belarussian Bears, especially the Mama Belarussian Bears with their Baby Bears. Brutal.
Just like that movie “The Reverant”.
I meant to say “The Revenant”.
“Police drove the bear out of town.”
That should teach that bear. “And don’t you EVER come back!”
I hope they gave the bear a comfy limo ride.
“The ministry has said it may revisit the bears’ status on the protected species list, arguing their increasing numbers mean they are no longer endangered and can be selectively hunted, culling the herds.”

No wonder they have increased human-bear conflict since they apparently have “herds” of these “endangered” Ursidae!
I’ve started packing a sidearm when I’m outside the house here in the Cabinet Mountains of NW Montana. The weather is nice enough that I know the bruins are awakening. I wonder if the Slovakian brown bears are related to North American “brown bears” aka grizzlies.
I always carry a 44 mag when walking in the woods. Always.
In 2014, a Russian man, Sergey Grigoriyev, adopted and raised a bear cub. .. Despite four years of bonding, the bear ate Sergey.. His “skeletal remains” were found by Police who went to his house after his relatives reported him missing
We have protected bears for so long here in Florida we are now up to our ears in bears...............
We tried that in Florida.
Doesn’t work.
Nuisance bears were taken up to 500 miles from where they were captured and they come back ‘home’.
Now they just euthanize them....................
We Americans are a gun culture, unlike most other cultures in the world. So, when you go into the woods and don’t carry a sufficient bear deterrent (firearm), you’re a damned fool. All bears will eat you but brown bears are just ill-tempered!
Bear attacks way up all over the world. The best protection is a magnum handgun.
I was overrun by squirrels eating all the fruit on my ten fruit trees. I finally decided “that’s enough” and decided to do something about it. I bought a Hav-a-Hart trap and caught my first squirrel. Put the cage in the car and drove him ten miles up in the hills, the distance they say they cannot find their way back.
That was about $5 to “save” one rodent. Then I learned the existing rodents in the new area don’t like the newcomers and the newcomers frequently starved or died shortly.
So my next 74 catches went for a swim in a big bucket of water. I finally got to eat my fruit.
Just think of what Rambo did after the cops drove him out of town !
I give the squirrels a swimming lesson too. I’m still overrun with those tree rats.
After getting rid of 75, things quieted down a LOT.
I was thinking of that first(?) Rambo movie.
Reminds me of all those old FAR SIDE cartoons in the newspaper.
