If an Animal Rights Activist is being mauled by a bear, should we stop it, or just let nature take it's course? !!! Hmmmm?

Steve,
To interfere with the mauling being perpetrated by the bear on the Animal Rights activist would be encroaching upon its right to the pursuit of happiness. Its and mine, both. Pop the top on a cold one and watch the fight.

Steve, As you know, bears need their protein just like other predators. In my opinion it is much better if bears get their daily allowance of protein by eating an Animal Rights Activist than eating an elk calf or deer fawn. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

I wonder, what kind of salad dressing, a bear likes with his veggies, those activist are not meat eaters.

I believe that they are under the impression that they are exempt?
At what point does the realization sink in?
"This guy wants to eat me; not slurp my face, and give me a bear hug! Perhaps I've been a tinsy bit mislead by Disney movies? Don't just stand there; HELP ME!"
Every once in a while, some idiot wants to play with the lions at the zoo. I bet they taste good?
No, people. That's bad. You have to do something. It's not entertainment.....pass the ketchup.
Good hunting. LB

This is a bit beyond the scope of the post but it reminded me of this joke. LOL
An atheist was walking through the woods, admiring all that the "accident
of evolution" had created.
"What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!" he
said to himself.
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes
behind him. Turning to look, he saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards
him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and
saw the grizzly was closing. Somehow, he ran even faster, so scared that
tears came to his eyes. He looked again and the bear was even closer. His
heart was pounding and he tried to run faster.
He tripped and fell to the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but
the bear was right over him, reaching for him with its left paw and
raising its right paw to strike him. At that instant the atheist cried, "Oh my God!...."
Time stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent. Even the river stopped moving.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky, "You
deny my existence for all these years, teach others that I don't exist and even
credit creation to a cosmic accident. Yet now you call to me and expect
me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"
The atheist looked directly into the light, " I am a man of principle and
it would be hypocritical to become a Christian and ask for your help after
all these years..., but perhaps you could make the bear a Christian?"
"Very well" said the voice.
The light went out.
The river ran.
The sounds of the forest resumed.
And then the bear dropped his right paw ... Brought both paws together...
Bowed its head and spoke:
"Lord, for this food which I am about to receive, I am truly thankful."
Good hunting.

Q,
Great joke!! Cracked me up!
Reminded me of an incident late last summer. I was coming out of the mountains after looking for some land for a new moose camp and was walking down a creek bed about 3 miles out from my truck when I saw movement coming up the creek. Well it was a greenie/anti hunter guy from the lower 48. Anyway I waited for him to show up. He looked at me toting my rifle with just a bit of disgust. "What do you need that for?" he asked distainly. I said bear. He said "what bears?" I said that there were lots of griz around and he had better be careful. He said "bears don't bother me". I said have a nice hike and headed out. I didn't tell him about the griz tracks (big bear too) he was about to encounter. A little while later I see him trying to catch up to me. He said "There really are bears around here!" I said yes and they aren't friendly either. He said that even though he didn't believe in hunting he wasn't a fool either and next time out he would be toting. I think he just got converted after seeing those tracks as he started asking questions about bear protection guns.
Oh and by the way I did file on some land near there for a moose camp and so far the score is griz 4 and John zip as we are in the middle of a turf war as he keeps wrecking things!

If these people are so worried about bears and their welfare, I think they should consider bait stations, er; I mean food bowls of Kennel Ration along known paths. This way they could observe gentle ben and his wife in their natural environment, and get all the warm fuzzies, knowing they have "connected" with these magnificent creatures. With a little patience, you can even get those cute cubs to take food from your hand, while momma watches. Great photo op.
Good hunting. LB
PS greenies: tongue was in cheek, don't be an idiot.
