Its amazing how facts and logic can be pushed aside to make way for emotional rhetoric, no?
Wooohooo!... : ) <<< me
Your blindness, your arrogance and your judgement separate you from the presence of the Holy Spirit among us.
Emotional rhetoric or deception and confusion to nationalist messages.
A man stabbed a black bear to death with a 15-cm hunting knife, saying he knew he would otherwise become "lunch" after it attacked him and his dog on a canoeing portage in northern Ontario.
Tom Tilley, a 55-year-old from Waterloo, Ont., said his American Staffordshire dog growled a warning, then rushed to his defence as the bear came at them on a trail north of Wawa on Friday.
As the dog battled with the nearly 90-kilogram bear, Tilley jumped on its back and stabbed it with his knife.
"Love is a very powerful emotion and my thought right away was: 'You're not going to kill my dog,'" Tilley told the Waterloo Region Record.
"I really consider my dog a hero. Without that first warning, I would have had the bear clamping down on my neck."
An avid outdoorsman, Tilley was four days into a 12-day canoe trip. He said he heard his dog growl and noticed the bear closing in on him. He waved his arms and slowly backed away. But the bear came closer, cutting off his escape route.
"That's when I knew I had a serious problem.... I was lunch," he said. "The bear took a few steps down the trail and clamped its mouth on the back of my dog. It gave me the quick opportunity I needed to run around to the back of the bear, get on its back and with my knife start stabbing it."
There is something seriously wrong with a society that would attempt to take away
an individual's right to protect himself from predators, two or four-legged.
Do you know where it is from?
I was thinking about the multimillion dollar knife promo you guys have going on this thread because I know a few folks who once worked at the Camillus factory.
And there was a series of knives we used to call the Street Fighter series and many folks I knew favored the #9 Street Fighter.
So I was thinking in honor of kanawa, maybe Camillus could do a Bear Tussler series?
I would buy a #9 Bear Tussler knife.
Since this bear is supposedly "one with God", and I am "one with God", then God(me) bit Sam and Kanawa killed God with a six-inch bucknife!!
Agreed!
My dear, I'm afraid the only thing that would introduce a dumbass to this story is if he ever took you to the places he's been.
Healthy people who appreciate both human and animal nature can't help but be impressed with this story.
Spot on!
I think Fawn has a little growing up to do.
An amazing tale!
Glad you and your wonderful dog are OK.
For the record, I find Candor7's and Amos the Prophet's discussions of Native American mythology to be quite interesting. Your input I find to be pretentious and irritating :~)
Just thought you'd want to know how effective your tactics have been.
Agreed! :~D
This is not an appropriate forum for this discussion. Let us meet on a religious forum. There is much I need to say to you.
I think I'm gonna need a flow chart to follow this. ;~)
I'm just being a wiza gurl :P
Oh piss off.
I can't. I and God and the bear are one. I'm dead.
Wow! I'm so glad that you and your dog both made it out alive.
American Staffordshire? Isn't that what some call a Pit Bull? Sounds like Sam was the perfect dog to have along. and I vote with your daughter, for the record! LOL. God bless you all -- dad, daughter, & dog.
