This is a bear we're talking about...

HA!
True- we do have that instinct, and inalienable right to do- but the left deny us that right- favoring criminals over the victims-
Darn big bear.
Very well put. Regards.

I used to be a zookeeper. Our elephant would stand swaying back and forth, watching the ducks out of the corner of her eye. When one got close enough, she would step on it and flatten it out. I could hold a flattened duck at arms level, and it would be dragging the ground.
She did the same to a couple of goats that got out of their pen.
Also, one wheelbarrow that a careless zookeeper left while she went to answer the phone.
Well, Bears gotta eat and ducks are really tasty!
The hyena will kill lion cubs. The hyena will kill lionesses. The hyena will eat prey animals that could otherwise be eaten by the lion.
The male lion’s size is optimized for his niche. He’s big enough so that two males can destroy as many hyenas as care to fight. He’s big enough to help with Cape Buffalo and giraffes. But not so big that he can’t run fast. Not so big there’s not enough food for him.Not so big the lionesses can’t push back if he’s totally out of line.
It’s indicative of something that when I raised a steer for the freezer, I didn’t name it. The daughters insisted on naming it “Sparkle,” but that habit died when “Sparkle” was wrapped in paper packages in the chest freezer.
This is a bear we're talking about...
And the snappers. I worked in a housing development once that had a large retention pond in it. When the ducklings hatched you’d see , 8 or 9 of them and then in a few days that would dwindle down to 2 or 3.
Snapping turtles would get them.

I’ve seen eagles swoop down and pluck a baby loon out of the water on occasion.
Th3y also pluck full grown geese too, which are pretty big birds. Golden eagles will attack and kill wolves, deer, coyotes, etc. Lots of video on YouTube showing that- they are a pretty fearless bird.
Hangry bear : )
