stop shooting our fucking bears.

there's gotta be a better solution than killing off (5 is it now?) in the past week.
i particularly like the latest one in vancouver, 'police said the bear wasnt aggressive but decided it needed to be destroyed anyways'
edit: i think its only 3 they've killed... oops!

fuck that.

just an update
i was up on grouse mountain near the grizzly bear sanctuary when i got involved in a conversation between a few tourists and one of the bear keepers, it turns out the lady who got mauled (the first bear incident that the media has sparked paranoia about bears all over the province) wasn't just minding her own business gardening. the media portrayed the incident as this: a lady was gardening when, without warning, she was attacked by a black bear and viciously mauled in her driveway. neighbours heard her screaming and came to her rescue, her hero was a man who drove his car into the bear to scare it off.

what actually happened was this: the woman's neighbour had been feeding the bear blueberry muffins... the bear had come back to get more when the lady who got mauled spotted him and started shrieking. she then started throwing rocks at the poor thing, which made it run into the backyard. later 5 neighbours cornered it on the side of the house and were throwing things at the bear. the lady was in the way of the bear's only escape route, so the bear went through her and thats when she got attacked.

They're shooting bears for acting like bears?

They did the same thing to another Mountain Lion a few days ago. Apparently it snuck into an open home and dragged the 12 year old Lab off into the night..

Seriously, the thing is hungry. Lock your fucking doors. Don't kill the thing for wanting a late night snack.

I'm so sick of people killing wildlife for being wildlife.

If I'm going to get killed I hope its by a hungry animal. At least I won't go to waste.

plz enlighten me if you feel up to it.

and yeah i probably come off a bit course and harsh
people seriously get under my skin when it comes to abusing the earth and wildlife. so i find it rather silly for joke time to be had at such a serious issue.

Christian Hiking

There’s a Christian who’s hiking in the woods one day when he comes upon an angry bear.

The bear stood up on its hind legs and growled ferociously, clearly preparing to charge.

In panic, the Christian started to run, but the bear followed close on his heels.

Finally the hiker came to a cliff. So he dropped to his knees and asked God to please make this bear a good Christian bear.

To the hiker’s amazement, the bear suddenly stopped growling, fell to his knees and folded his paws together in prayer!

"Thank you, Lord!" exclaimed the Christian.

"Thank you, Lord!" exclaimed the bear, "for this meal I'm about to receive!"

I didn't expect to laugh reading this, so when I did, I blew a snot bubble out of my nose. Ewwww!

While I am extremely pissed off at the Conservation Officers in BC and that fact that they seem to like to kill first as it is the easiest option....One of the bears that was killed in BC in the past week was trying to eat a woman on her front porch....and the one that was shot today was actually INSIDE someone's house. I realize that the bears are not to blame and it's people leaving their rubbish around and attracting bears and I hate that they are shot. But three have been relocated and four have been shot.

It's terrible and it's horrible.

However, the subdivisions that are having issues with bears and other wildlife are encroaching on what used to be forested woodland and home to wildlife. When you purchase a house near or in a forest, you can expect to encounter wildlife.

Where I used to live one neighbour was squawking about seeing a bear near out water tower and he was going to have someone come and kill it because he didn't move into his expensive home to have his kid eaten by a bear. He also was pissed at the deer eating his flowers and other pricey plants in his yard and wished he was allowed to just shoot them too. I asked him why he chose to live in a very rural area in the woods where wildlife exists rather than in a concrete condo on the 400th floor where he would be safe from bears and deer, etc. He told me to fuck off.

If you are afraid of wildlife, live in URBAN areas! Jeez...get with the program idiots! When I was a kid, in a rural seaside community, if we saw a bear or a cougar in a neighbour's yard or down by the beach - wow! You were the luckiest person on the planet and people would be talking about your encounter for years! WTF happened?

yeah, i felt bad for that lady who survived being eaten, but i feel sick watching the news and hearing them make bears this horrible monster.... just watching the way the news anchors report the story (in usual fashion) with their stupid way about it.

i just think its so unfair, the bears are doing whats natural. but just because we're humans and we invent machines that can kill animals without giving them a chance... so if an animal attacks a human we all take it personally and go out and shoot it.

i say if you get to go out and have revenge on wildlife for being wild, you should have to go primitive and fight the animal bare handed! rawr!
