Pepper spray? Reminds me of this old joke....
The Forest Service has issued a BEAR WARNING in the national forests for this summer. They’re urging everyone to protect themselves by wearing bells and carrying pepper spray.
Campers should be alert for signs of fresh bear activity, and they should be able to tell the difference between Black Bear dung and Grizzy Bear dung.
Black Bear dung is rather small and round. Sometimes you can see fruit seeds and/or squirrel fur in it.
Grizzly Bear dung has bells in it, and smells like pepper spray!
There’s a difference between a kumbayah tree hugger who thinks bears are “cute” and someone who has a job to do.
Training wild animals for the movies is a job. The good ones always understand it is dangerous. Like Rush says, paraphrased, a bear is a bear is a bear.
Prayers for his family.
I guess they got a good example of a predator in action!
Bears can not be trusted! They are wild animals. This cute cuddly stuff will get more people killed.
Quick not to self: In the food chain there are bears then underneath are other forms of food including man. Not diminishing the significance of human death but this bear did nothing to deserve euthanasia anymore than I would by eating a hamburger.
When I was a young girl a man brought a bear to an empty lot near our house and was giving rides on him. I remember riding him, being afraid, and noting that he had a muzzle. Now I wonder what my parents were thinking!!!!! The muzzle was fairly insubstantial, and he was just on a leash. I have no idea where the guy (and bear) came from or went.
Perhaps the bear read the reviews of “Semi-Pro” and became offended.
A bear is an omnivore.
You, to it, are food.
A 700 pound grizzly is reason for concern in itself.
