Bear Ping!

[allmost]

It’s all bad.

[jazusamo]

It not only puts human lives at risk but causes many unnecessary deaths of bears.

The bear’s glasses were ignored as well.

I am so tired of the “dance with wolves, run through the tall grass naked” syndrome.

Animals are animals and people are people. Domesticated animals are called that because they have some product or service we want and in exchange for it we will give them food, and these species (horses, dogs, cats, barnyard animals) are at a mental/emotional level where they have the ability to relate to us and understand this in their own way. Therefore they can be domesticated.

In addition, they realize that while we are not physically stronger, we can do things to them that they don’t like - whip them, hit them, or even kill them using a tool - so there is a fear element, too.

Wild animals are...ta da...wild animals. They can’t be domesticated, and because of the “dances with wolves” syndrome, they have lost their fear of us.

There’s a whole lot more that love them than love bears too much. :-)

Squidbillies theory of evolution. Too many bears :57s

[jazusamo]

Well said and there seem to be more and more of these people suffering the syndrome.

"She was a very loving woman. So much into animals."

Rather poor taste, if you ask me.

[garyhope]

“confused whack job.”

I’m comfortable with this description of these people.

Humans taste good!

Bears, eat the stupid people!

[dalereed]

“Rather poor taste, if you ask me.”

Like the saying, we don’t like women with good taste but ones that taste good!

I was going to post this story this morning, but the video is too long.

Stupid with wild critters is not endemic to Alaska/grizz country.

>>”Love...bears all things.”

In the fall, Bears...love (to eat) all things.
