Bear Ping!
It’s all bad.
didn’t have my specs on and I thought it said beers.
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.
Rather poor taste, if you ask me.
“confused whack job.”
I’m comfortable with this description of these people.
Humans taste good!
Bears, eat the stupid people!
I honestly don’t think they care about these bears (or insert whatever dangerous predator of choice). They think they are helping them but they are only creating a dangerous dependency on humans that will not end well and mostly for the bears. The truth is, this is about the individual’s ego.
