My nephew, his brother in law and his father-in-law went on a fishing trip to Alaska when the FIL retired. They all carried heavy firearms and were advised to do so by the outfitter........

This world has just too many stupid people.......and not enough bears willing to take care of the problem.

I read the article, the comments and YES, I am well aware the bear has met his fate.

What I was referring to is if Bear would have unwarrantly attacked the IDIOT he should be facing (or faced) the ‘death sentence’ - even though I am sure the Bear family haven’t signed a treaty.

I guess a lawyer may argue Bear was ‘entrapped’ and as M. Berry was heard to comment “The Beatch set me up”, the fool and his pictures led to the death of Bear.

#24 is a good reference point and ‘words to ponder’.

Make One False Move, Yogi, and You’re a Throw Rug
by James Collier — November 25, 1999

Some time ago on NBC’s Dateline there was story about how Yellowstone Park rangers are increasing their efforts to discourage bears from stealing food from park visitors. Last year apparently the bears were so brazen they were breaking into cars, RVs, and lockers to get at the food. One offical noted that certain troublesome bears, if they continued their thieving ways, would have to be put down for the sake of public safety.
Of course this got me thinking. Does this mean that a certain bear, one that is smarter than the average one, is in trouble? I can only imagine what they have planned for him:

[EXT. NIGHT — Parking lot, Jellystone Park.]

[YOGI and BOO BOO surreptitiously approach a car. YOGI takes a peek inside and sees a picnic basket.]

YOGI: (rubbing his hands) Manna from heaven! Boo Boo, hand me the jimmy.

[BOO BOO pulls a long thin piece of metal out of a tool box and hands it to YOGI.]

YOGI: Thanks little buddy. Watch my back.

[YOGI attempts to open the car’s door with the jimmy to little success.]

YOGI: Give me the crow bar.

BOO BOO: I have a bad feeling about this. We should just leave. If Ranger Rick —

YOGI: F*** Ranger Rick. He ain’t got shit on me. Never has, never will. Give me the fn crowbar, I ain’t leavin’ without this basket.

[BOO BOO reluctantly gives YOGI the crow bar. YOGI makes several furtive glances to make sure no one is around and takes the crowbar smashes the car window. Right at that moment YOGI and BOO BOO are hit with flood lights.]

RANGER SMITH: Freeze, motherf****r!

[RANGER RICK and a SWAT team with rifles in firing positions encircle the two bears.]

RANGER SMITH: This isn’t a trank, Yogi! If you so much as twitch, you’re a throw rug in my living room!

YOGI: We didn’t do nothin’, the car was like this when we got here!

RANGER SMITH: We got it all on tape Yogi. You’re not getting out of this one.

[One of the RANGERS handcuffs YOGI and throws him against the hood of the car.]

YOGI: I didn’t do nothin’! I want my lawyer!

RANGER: Shut up.

[A park service paddy wagon pulls up. The rangers shove YOGI in.]

YOGI: You can’t do this to me! I’m an endangered species!

[The wagon pulls off. RANGER RICK walks up to BOO BOO and pats him on the shoulder.]

BOO BOO: I did what you wanted.

RANGER SMITH: And your government thanks you.

BOO BOO: My record’s clear?

RANGER SMITH: We have one more job for you.

BOO BOO: (angrily) One more! You told me if I gave you Yogi, I got off scot free!

RANGER SMITH: (coolly) Your government needs you. We have reports that Magilla Gorilla is smuggling Panamanian bananas into the United States. Huckleberry Hound is dead. You’re the only person who can get close.

BOO BOO: (slumps) Everytime I try to get out, you people pull me back in.

[fade to black.]

That same warning is posted at several parking lots on Ohio’s Buckeye Trail, which circles through the state.

It made me LOL the first time I saw it, and it still makes me giggle.

Go flashing your digicam in the bear’s eyes, and sooner or later it gets irritated. So would anyone.

Yeah; just ask Sean Penn.

It is a genuine tragedy that someone died, but hopefully it was a Democrat. The goof sure acted like one.

I knew this must be a parody when reading this line....or else the bear ate the park's history last week....

As I read the article, he was taking pictures of the bear, not the scenery.

Yea, but the park is there because of the scenery - so the bear should scram to a wilderness area or a zoo.
