Man Goes To Bear Country To See Bears, Gets Mauled, Blamed On “Climate Change”

• I have admitted this already on these pages: I live in Maine! Sue me. Have your lawyer call my lawyer.

  This item should prove to all of you, even the lib-lurkers, what the squirrels (and bears) know instinctively: The farther into the woods you go, the more nuts you find.

• I blame it on another libby jackass who believes in trying to get closer with nature while not realizing that the creatures that reside in nature are willing and able to tear your ass to pieces if you intrude on their space.

  I'd be willing to bet that most libbies' experience with animals came from a zoo and they believe that their interactions with the same creatures in the wild will be the same. Asshats. "Oh look, a cuddly bear" *Bear rips your face off*. "What happened?! Winnie the Pooh was just a cuddly honey lover!"

  Rkae, The Bears couldn't beat a rug this season.

• Hmm...

  Confused here. I didn't think the Bears could beat anybody this season.

• I think the polar bear was suffering from white guilt

  • Their skin is actually black.

• We should import a few dozen polar bears to DC in an effort to cull the Congressional herd.

  • Yeah, they can feed well in DC. In addition, as these bears have the drive to attack delusional leftists like this dolt, we might also want to have some replace the current GOP congressional leadership who are sorely wanting in such resolve.

    • Delusional leftists are the ones that think they can go PET the bears, so it should work out.

  • And chum the WH with salmon and seal guts.

• Grizzly bears are ornery and get very grouchy very quickly when they feel their personal space has been infringed. Black bears, contrary to popular wisdom, will stalk human beings and attack (someone in New Jersey of all places was recently stalked and killed), but any kind of determined resistance will likely save you from death, as black bears are skittish and cowardly at their core. All bears are a threat, but the biggest threat is the polar bear. Not only is it the largest bear, and the most intelligent bear, it has the best arsenal of physical tools built into its anatomy. Super smell, extraordinary endurance, phenomenal swimming ability (their scientific name means maritime bear), they've got things other bears don't have. And they hunt human beings. Polar bears have been known to study Inuit villages, notice regular directions of travel, then bury themselves under a layer of snow and wait in ambush for a pedestrian to eat. They will attack humans in boats. Anybody dumb enough to go on an excursion hoping to see a polar bear, with no gun!, is an idiot who barely deserves our sympathy.

  • Actually, I'm not the least bit surprised about the black bear story in NJ. Northern NJ is mountainous and heavily wooded. There is a large black bear population there, and they have become quite a nuisance. It is not unusual to find them scavenging in the trash cans of homes.

• The National Park Rangers are advising hikers in Glacier National Park and other Rocky Mountain parks to be alert for bears and take extra precautions to avoid an encounter.
  They advise park visitors to wear little bells on their clothes so they make noise when hiking. The bell noise allows bears to hear them coming from a distance and not be startled by a hiker accidentally sneaking up on them. This might cause a bear to charge.
  Visitors should also carry a pepper spray can just in case a bear is encountered. Spraying the pepper into the air will irritate the bear's sensitive nose and it will run away.
  It is also a good idea to keep an eye out for fresh bear scat so you have an idea if bears are in the area. People should be able to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear scat.
  Black bear droppings are smaller and often contain berries, leaves, and possibly bits of fur. Grizzly bear droppings tend to contain small bells and smell of pepper.

  • ha

  • There's a couple of things missing on their list. Have a large caliber rifle or hand gun. If a bear charges you level said weapon and squeeze the trigger. Repeat as necessary until the beat is dead and no longer charging.

    If you go into the region where bears are and you aren't armed, see the results of the article.

• So now that there are more polar bears instead of fewer, as the Global Warmists predicted, and the larger polar bear population is resulting in more human-polar bear encounters, we learn that the increased number of polar bears is ALSO caused by Global Warming. This is why AGW is not a valid scientific theory: no matter what happens, the theory is not disprovable.

  • There's also a lot more ignorant liberals out there, trying to "commune" with nature, without having any understanding of it.

• Maybe the Polar Bears are moving inland, because it's too freakin' cold out on the ice.

• Did this fool pick up their sign? "I want to hang with the Bears. What can go wrong? I'm stupid and I think the Bears will like me". How ignorant can these people be? Go out into the wild and expect wild animals to act differently.

  Insane

  • Someone left a bag of idiots open again.....
