When ManBearPig Attacks!!
Shark Bear Week !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s August . . .
a 700-pound black bear ...has broken into at least 50 homes in search of food the past year, causing more than $70,000 of damage, and leaving stinky, basketball-size deposits...
...a bear matching Bubba’s description confronted a frightened homeowner, who told officials that he shot the bear between the eyes with a .44 Magnum. The bullet apparently bounced off the bear’s skull ...
“We don’t believe it’s appropriate to just start killing bears for following their noses to food,” says Ms. Bryant [of The Bear League, a nonprofit bear-safety organization]
“Right now every god-dang dead cow down in this country’s got grizzlies on them," said Mark Bruscino, a bear specialist with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department in Cody. “We’ve already had a couple of reports of bears on the gut piles of hunter-killed elk. Road-killed deer have bears on them.”
...in Yellowstone already (two mauling deaths so far)
...Full-grown Yellowstone bears can stand 6 feet tall and top 600 pounds. ...
“Pack your bear spray..."
“We don’t believe it’s appropriate to just start killing bears for following their noses to food,” says Ms. Bryant...”
The trouble with the world is that there are way too many soft-hearted people who are also soft-headed.
Sure, it’s “bear nature” to look for goodies to gobble down, so we ought to give them a little slack. It’s also “bear nature” to eat soft, juicy humans (like Ms Bryant). Let’s cut them a little slack. Or hold “man-bear dialog”. Or try to figure out what we did to deserve this.
That one’s easy: it’s all <a href="http://edhelper.com/ReadingComprehension_54_383.html>Davy Crockett’s</a> fault. (Those of you who went through public school might want to follow the link.)
