I saw an article recently that was along these same lines. People were complaining about mountain lions getting too close. First, a girl was mauled and barely escaped with her life. Second, a family woke up so noise one night only to find their dogs had been partially eaten by mountain lions. Lastly, a kid was jogging around his school when he was attacked and killed by a mountain lion - which literally ate his face off and disemboweled him. All of these things and more happened within a short period of time. The environmentalist were doing their same song and dance, "that attack was just a fluke, it's rare, they're timid" and so on.

They should allow the huntings without a hitch. Kill as many as can be seen in the first 60 days.

"If they do encounter a bear," he said, "they can throw them their lunch."

Bad idea.

"they can throw them their lunch."

Brilliant. Now the bears will learn to approach school children. One will be killed and the"animal rights" wackjobs will be sucking roasted tofu coffee saying "Who? Us?"

lets just dart about 50 of them, unload a few dump trucks of garbage in their back yards, release the bears there and turn on the cameras. It would make great pay-per-view.

When do we get to whack some bears?

I live in Vernon Township NJ. We have had 3 "breakins" this year so far. Two resulted in the deaths of the bears in question. In the link below is Mama and two cubs taken in May of this year. Several weeks after these pictures, Mama had broken a kitchen window out and was eating the aforementioned brownies. She was killed by the Sheriff. The house was about 1/4 mile from mine.

I get sick of hearing these animalnazis who say "We're encroaching on the bears". BS. There have been no more than a half dozen houses built in this area for 10+ years. There have been no new roads. There have however been constant and frequent problems with the damn bears. Every year for the past five it's gotten worse. 2002/2003 has had 7 or so bears killed either on breakins or on the highways just within about a 10 mile radius of my house. I lose track anymore as it's so common it's bearly newsworthy(pun intentional, heh).

Mama(now RIP) and the cubs

The best thing to do about bears is to support proposed deadly force against bears legislation in NJ or write to your own state legislators asking for similar legislation - - to permit the use of deadly force against bears that are threatening people, in or near homes. NJ SENATE, No. 2745,STATE OF NEW JERSEY , 210th LEGISLATURE,INTRODUCED NOVEMBER 24, 2003,Sponsored by: Senator ROBERT E. LITTELL,District 24 (Sussex, Hunterdon and Morris,Senator ANTHONY R.

A similar face-off occurred last year in Santa Barbara, CA. The story was widely reported in the local press. In the Santa Barbara story, a bear behaved aggressively toward a boy in his family's hot tub. This family lived in the mountains over-looking Santa Barbara. The parents applied for a permit to kill the bear and that is when all hell broke loose.

All the lefties started harrassing the family, sending threatening e-mail and making threatening phone calls. The funny thing that went unreported is that the target of the bear's bad attitude and the bear loving harrassers were themselves Clinton Loving Pinkos.

The people who applied to kill the bear were both school teachers at Santa Ynez High School. The wife is a very vocal pro-Title IX feminist.

This very liberal couple who applied for the permit to kill the bear tried to explain to the folks threatening them that normally they would agree with the bear defenders, but since their child was threatened they felt compelled to take drastic action. Of course no one believed they were good greenies driven by neccessity to protect their children. Since they worked in Santa Ynez, people assumed they were gunslinging cowboys.

Some time dring the shouting match the bear disappeared, never to be seen again, but the school teachers remain personas non gratis in Santa Barbara. I have altered a popular cliche to sum up the episode: "A conservative is a liberal whose child was attacked by a bear."
