city people perhaps? black bears rarely kill people but ever few years someone manages to die...mostly idiots who get in between a sow and her cubs...simple logic should tell you that is wrong...locals are use to bears and see them as harmless pests to birdfeeders and trash cans

These people are always liberals who think that since they give to the WWF and are animal lovers, they will be spared from these wild animals instincts. They're the same type of people who eat aquarium cleaner to combat COVID 19. The world is a better place without these people who think petting the Rino or drinking Clorox are acceptable.

A good percentage of people today spend no time out doors and all thier time on their freeking phones. This has created a disconnect with nature and quite frankly reality. I mean we have created what like 23 trillion in debt over the last few years and no one seems to bat an eye at it. Or how about the patriot act took away liberties in ways unnatural over a war that was never a war and the likely hood of you dying at terrorists hands remain so smalll barely to worry about but hey we create a never ending war give away fredoms and every one is silient. welcome to todays america.

City folks think the Earth has been Nerfed just for them.

The fact is many if not most people know nothing of the natural world.

During a 1994 blackout, L.A. residents called 911 when they saw the Milky Way for the first time

The presence of the animals has nothing to do with it; it is a pre-existing condition.

 

[Corazon]

I think that some people never saw wild animals in the real world and believe they're like pets (or maybe like some cartoon characters like Bugs Bunny or Yogi Bear)

Never use one of these when traveling in bear country. In the northwest it's known as
'Meals on Wheels'.

Just because this is a political board doesn't mean that you have to turn it into a liberal v. conservative issue in every single fucking thread.

Why would anyone want to closely follow a bison, for godssakes? Their good looks? Their sweet, friendly dispositions? If you want a good picture of one, buy a postcard at the gift shop.

Just a liberal sprinkling of mini-mines around the perimeter and Bob's your uncle!

My son hikes in a wild part of the Adirondacks where he has to use what he calls a "bear safe" to store all his chow. Hangs it in a tree. Supposedly, the bear can't smell the food inside.

At this time of year, the northern part of the state is lousy with moose. You can take a drive up to Greenville and be guaranteed to see at least one or two. They seem to be used to the gawkers, and they're pretty calm about it. People stop their cars, get out and start clicking away.....but moose have a "boundary." They will keep a certain amount of space between themselves and a human. If human moves five feet closer, moose will move five feet back. They don't want to be interrupted in their feeding, so they don't run away like a deer would; but they want that space. I don't know what they'd do if you violated it, if they couldn't move away.

I had one charge my car once. They can get nasty when provoked.

No, that was a Dimocrat who murdered her husband and tried to blame it on Trump, like everything else.
