Bear attacks!

“Here in Quebec, ther have been two bearattacks in a week. In the first one, north of Montreal, an 18 year-old man was badly gored and is still in hospital. Yesterday (Sunday) a man was attacked and killed while working outside his hunting cabin, preparing for opening day. His son shot the bear. Hmmmmm, sorta puts a fresh face on the outdoors, doesn't it?”

“YAY for the bear!”

“In the US, 900 people were killed in motor vehicle accidents last week...kinda puts a different spin on coming out of the woods.

:-)”

“300 people died of ifected in grown toenail last week.kind of makes you think about proper toe nail triming”

“Sucks that happened to those folks. Bears are such neat animals... it's sad because the attacks are all most people read about bears, and they opt to watch "Friends" instead of a really well done bear documentary on the Discovery Channel. Sigh....”

“When i lived in Fairbanks, Alaska i had a friend who lived outside of town who had his dogs slaughtered by a bear that tried breaking into his house.”

“bears are very amazing animals.yet sometimes they attack people.maybe we need to rethink our bear ideas in general.for the most part our bear friends realy do want to live in peace with us.however it has been said there's always a bad one in the bunch.this may be true but you have to look at it from the bears prospective.it's their earth also their woods , their mountains and their streams.lets all consider this the next time we hear one of these attack stories.”

“You lived in Fairbanks spirit? We were there 1992-1999.
That story sounds like an episode out on Chena Hot Springs Road.”

“anybody seen the American Express ad with jerry Seinfeld. Pretty funny. He's watching bears on video while they cavort around his campsite.”

“more bears will make a better world if we live in harmany with the big preditor”

“hey stratdewd, move to New Mexico and you won't have to worry about football. But you'll have some great mountains!”

“carl perkens once a great bear lover was known to his pal jim to hug the mighty grizzly.”

“bear or beer that is the question”

“why treat a bear as a outsider envite the bear in to your home get to know the bear.”

“and just remeber to approach a bear like a good old friend and there sould not be a problem”

“Troll, I mean, uh, Tick, I can see you have given this a lot of thought...may you enjoy many close encounters with bears, as soon as possible. Let us know how it goes.”

“Bear attack

Hunter attacked by mommy bear. Dad killed bear with one arrow. It was a black not a griz. These were archery hunters so they were not likely to be making noise and where probably in full camouflage with face paint. Mommy bears don’t like surprises.

“'Sides that, don't think them teeny things would keep nuthin' away - 'ceptin maybe some other moths ya aint caught yet.”

“Talk about bear attacks! Check out what the Russian bears have figured out how to do! Now that's some scary sheeyat!”

“Did you look at some of the other stories listed there? I think that is the Russian equivalent of the National Enquirer.”

“Ooookaaay...

You know Pravda has been printing a lot of UFO stories lately too. I guess they took a lesson from the western tabloid media.”

“No fair posting while I'm typing!”

“Who cares! It's still a fun read!”

“Pravda means truth.

Pravda was the official communist newspaper, along with Izvestia.”

This image shows a man who was somewhat eaten by a black bear in Idaho. Pass on this if in doubt. It can wreck your day, but it serves as a sobering reminder that black bears aren't cute. They're wild beasts.
