A woman who recorded the terrifying moment she encountered a black bear outside a cabin in Alaska has garnered international attention because of the way she begged and pleaded with the large mammal to please, please leave her kayak alone.
Mary Maley was on a solo kayaking trip from Ketchikan to Petersburg, Alaska, when she decided to stop at a U.S. Forest Service cabin in Berg Bay. Before she could head out on a four-mile hike, she met her nemesis, the bear. Maley posted a video ..
“I had just carried my tent, food, and all my gear into the cabin to dry,” Maley wrote on YouTube. “I heard something outside as I ate my lunch, and well, I never got to go on that hike.”
...
Thank you for leaving my kayak alone,” Maley says at the very start of the video. Then the bear starts lumbering towards her. “I’m going to pepper spray you in the face,” she says. And she does.
Alas, this doesn’t seem to have the desired effect. The bear turns around and Maley’s worst fear is realized. It’s heading for her kayak.
No! Get away from the kayak,” Maley yells. But her efforts are futile. The bear is now squarely focused on the kayak.
“Why are you breaking my kayak!? Stop it! Bear! Stop that!” Maley screams as the bear swats her kayak, nibbles on it and even flips it over. ..
Please stop, bear,” she says. “It’s the end of September. Why are you here? You’re supposed to be asleep. Why are you here?”
Then she tries to reason with it.
“Please stop breaking my things,” she says. “It’s not even food. It doesn’t even taste good. It’s just plastic. Bear, please stop.”

She can flip the switch on her youtube account to make money off her video and buy a much nicer kayak. So a little embarassment is not a big deal for her.
She forgot her little brass warning bells.
That’s.....sad.

Stupid is supposed to hurt.
You know, you know this woman is a liberal.
She thinks everybody and even animals follow some specific order. She continuely asks the bear “please”.
She doesn’t have enough sense to know the bear smells the food on her kayak.
Yes for sure the stupid hurts.
I think that high pitched caterwauling is the reason the bear trashed her kayak.
LOL! Yep.
LOL! I’ve never gotten tired of watching that...

Bet the bear would have licked her bicycle seat if she had one.
Alaska Ping!
How right you are.
I’m not sure if this was proven to be a hoax or not; but sadly, nowadays it was easy to believe it was real:

What? The bear ignored her pleas? How rude of him.
If I was as dopey as this woman, I don’t think I would advertise the fact online.
Yes, they can. I was reminded earlier that these days they're making a better grade of idiot ...
Makes you wanna slap the silly bimbo.
That’s what I was thinking...
Most annoying voice! Lefty wing-nut for sure!
