What a nincompoop this broad is.
Ryan was only following HIS natural instincts...it's called fight or flight response. He already stated he was trapped from gaining egress from the room...so he was forced to fight. Survival of the fittest. Man's brain size is what has allowed him to become the dominant species.
And how does Miss Nincompoop know this Kodiak has never tasted human blood before? If Ryan had left it alone, he may have been the entreé after the salmon bisqué. One salmon hardly whets the appetite of an 800 lb. bear. This woman needs a dope slap.
Besides, it gives me a great chance to say I got my brown bear rug back from the taxidermist yesterday. He's just a little guy, but he's all mine. Got him right over the top of the right eyeball with a .338 at about 15 yards and closing. Dropped like a boulder. Best shot of my life and right when it counted. Damn glad I didn't have a frying pan to confuse the weapon of choice :-)
Didn't he say his exit was blocked though?
Is that the one that got eaten?
This has got to be from the Onion. Right?
That's odd. That usually works.
It would be fearsome. The head of the griz is about the size of the grill on your Ford F-250. Try the frying pan on the truck first to see if it has the right heft and balance. If it works on the truck, it ought to work on the bear.
It could have been this guy:
It sure as hell wasn't THIS guy (Warning: Graphic Photo!)
(P.S. This is the guy who was eaten by the 1000 lb. bear pictured above)
Hey Bobby!! How are you keeping? I cannot believe these idiot animal groups. I was President of our local SPCA here in Kelowna, B.C. but I think we were normal. I too would have killed the bear with anything at hand. If you cannot get to your gun, what is wrong with a cast iron frying pan. The bear would have killed the young man, that's for sure!!
Nah...can't find the editorial online...the author had a bear come up to the house and couldn't frighten it off, not even by firing pistol rounds into the dirt around it...so he pulled out his bear rifle and killed it.
His logic was that he and his wife routinely hiked the wilderness around their cabin and they couldn't (wouldn't)take the chance on meeting that particular bear out in the woods.
LOL - Good for Ryan. I suppose if you can't get to your gun your supposed to let the bear make dinner out of you? Some of these wingnut groups are too much. Good luck in Court whoever you are. This is WHY Canadians, we MUST get rid of the Federal Liberals. Stephen Harper is only 4 points behind Martin. If the Conservatives win, the first thing he's going to do is get rid of this rediculous GUN REGISTRY!! Never mind the frying pan, fly swatter registry!
Although I think this is taking things a little to far!
WoW! thanks for the ping..
I know, you have these groups too don't ya???? The ones waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy out there??? FOFL!! We are close to getting rid of the Federal Liberals Swerv and IF we do, Stephen Harper is getting RID of the gun registry!! There COULD WELL be a sea change up north here.
I live in Victoria, and this story is patently false.
#1 The only type of bears on Vancouver Island are small black bears.
#2 Unless you are incredibly strong, all you'll do to a bear when you smack it with a cast iron frypan is annoy the bear.
#3 A COLLEGE STUDENT with a FIREARM in his bedroom? Looks like the RCMP are going to be visiting him soon and confiscating some property, and he'sll be getting some time in the slammer.
#4 Victoria police don't have a section called "Victoria crime scene investigation unit".
#5 I've sneezed and caused more than $400 damage. A bear in the house would be FAR less mindful of damage cost.
#6 No such thing as Animal Rights Abuse Watch in ANY local 'phone book.
#7 there are only 10 "D Morris' " listed in the book, and most of them aren't in Victoria proper.
In other words, it's a good story, but it's total fiction.
agreed ... when one is in a self-defense situation, I vote for the human over the animal always ...
not to mention, a bear wielding a frying pan is very menacing! ...

Why didn't you just tell Mike Tyson to go away?
Hey, don't confuse me with facts. :'). I like the idea that a human could take out a beast with a wooden spoon and a frying pan.
