Watch out for those Belarussian Bears, especially the Mama Belarussian Bears with their Baby Bears. Brutal.
“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.
We have protected bears for so long here in Florida we are now up to our ears in bears...............
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.
Reminds me of all those old FAR SIDE cartoons in the newspaper.

I have a friend who thinks bears are so cute, adorable. She likes to go to the Smoky Mountains and look for them.
I’m like...no.
