We had an interesting wildlife ruckus last month. Seems some hunters saw a baby black bear in a tree. The mother bear was nowhere around and they were concerned enough to call the Fish and Wildlife ranger to come and rescue the little fellow. The ranger showed up, calmly shot the bear out of tree where it took some time to die. He then threw the dead cub into his truck and drove away. The guy caught hell from the furry animal huggers, the libs and the lib media who demanded the ranger's hide, but he is still doing his job protecting animals. He said, quite rightly, that the cub alone would have died anyway.

Wolves are another matter. The shoot, shovel and bury method works wonders.

Quite right. What irks me about the animal right's activists... is that they put an animal life at the same or higher level as a human being. I love animals too... but the reality is that we have to set priorities in the scheme of life. God said that we are to have dominion over the beasts of the earth.....and to use them for work/food. I don't mean that we should slaughter everything else needlessly or neglect them.... just know their place in our lives. Except for opossum. They're fair game for target practice. *chuckle*

I'll never forget a blurb on the news I saw several years ago. Some wise-guy was going to make a public spectacle of smashing a live rat with some kind of invention he came up with. Several PETA members showed up and chased the guy down the street to KILL him. He took the rat to the shop where he'd bought it and ran away. Some flake who'd been chasing the guy... went in to the shop and bought the rat, then bragged he'd saved it's life...ya-dee-da. My question was...WHY didn't he buy the rest of the snake food that was in the shop? He could have saved a hundred! Good grief. Makes you wonder if stupidity has reached a new low.
