Man Who Killed Bear IN SELF DEFENSE Being Hounded by Animal Rights Activists

[QUOTE="-Jiggles-"][QUOTE="streak000"]

Frankly, I disagree with all of you. He invaded the bear's space with TWO DOGS, no less. The bear was just trying to protect her cubs. I'm not saying that killing a bear in self-defence is wrong, just that you shouldn't believe this guy's version so wholeheartedly.

And anyway, nearly everyone who posted so far expressed some sort of pleasure at the death of these 3 bears :?. I'm no supporter of PETA, but I'm absolutely shocked at the lack of sensitivity you're all showing. Frankly, it's disgusting.

The fact that he was within the bear's wittle-bitty personal space is irrelevant, especially considering that he didn't know there was a bear and her cubs nearby. The bear still attacked him and he had every right to defend himself.

The entire forest isn't off-limits to humans, you know.

Yeah, I know, but what if his dogs really started hassling the cubs? If a dog started threatening your children, would you not take protective action? Killing a bear in self-defence is unfortunate but necessary. Provoking said bear with 2 dogs in her vicinity just isn't cool.

But whatever, what really annoys me is everyone's insensitivity. Bears are beautiful animals. There's simply no need to make fun of their death. It's a sad event.

There isn't a whole lot you can do when you're dogs start barking at cubs. I mean really, the guy had no control over the situation. There was no way for him, or his dogs to know there would be bears in the situation, he did what any animal would do: fight for survival. That is the way of life, and if the man had been another animal, we would think nothing of it because it's perfectly natural.

Yes, it is very sad a bear had to die, and it is even more sad the cubs had to die. Such is the way of life. No one should be making fun of it, but that doesn't mean the man should be being harrassed over the matter. He did what he had to do, and I'd do the exact same thing if I were him.

And don't you know? Bears are the number one threat to AMERICA! :P

[QUOTE="Kikouken"]Whoa. So if a bear attacked one of those ARA's would they try to reason with the bear or something? Christ, if a bear were to threaten my wellbeing and I saw a blunt weapon handy - the bear would get it whereever I could strike first :|loco145

[QUOTE="loco145"]That man is bad-ass. Killing a bear with a stick, I wanna be like him when i grow up.streak000

You wanna bash bears' skulls in when you grow up? Good luck with that.

Why are you Americans forcing me to take the hated PETA's side on this? I wouldn't disagree but for everyone's complete indiference towards these 3 bears' lives. And you're making the yokel who killed him into some kind of hero? I'm sorry, but your attitudes towards this issue sicken me...

First off, not everyone defending this guy is American, all right? Thanks for stereotyping Americans as uncaring.

Second, save the drama for your mama. Its a bear, and a man. Thats all. They fought, the bear should have killed the man, but it didn't. That is why I find his actions commendable; he overcame great odds and triumphed where most others would fail.

Third, he isnt a yokel...he apologized repeatedly, said he was sorry but he had no choice, and that he felt bad the cubs had to be put down.

Frankly, when a fellow human overcomes great odds, I think we need to be proud of him or her. You're making this into an emotional issue when it really is not one: man went for walk, bear attacked man, man suprisingly killed bear. End of story.

No need to be a bleeding heart.

"Why didn't he run away?"

:|

Is that supposed to be a serious question? That's about on par with asking why he didn't shoo the bear away with love and kisses. I thought that EVERYONE knows that running away from a bear is absolutely the worst thing you can ever possibly do. You NEVER run away from a bear. It doesn't even matter why the bear is attacking you. Running away is NEVER an option. You cannot outrun a ****ing bear. All running will do is guarantee that the bear will chase your ass down and kill you. Have you ever wondered why cats chase pieces of string that you dangle in front of them? Well, bears are the same way. Even if the bear really didn't have any intention of killing you, running is gonna MAKE the bear kill you. Running turns you into prey, and that makes the bear chase you down and destroy you in the same way that a dog chases a frisbee. Even if the bear is absolutely dead set on killing and eating you, you're STILL better off standing your ground. At least then, when the bear gets to you, you don't have your freaking BACK turned to it. You can't fight off ANYTHING with your back turned to it. At least if you're facing the bear, you can maybe poke it in the eye or kick it in the nuts.

Anyway, this guy has a badass rating that rivals Chuck Norris. He didn't just kill a freaking bear, he defended himself from a bear attack by crushing A ****ING BEAR'S skull with a ****ing STICK.

That's about as badass as badass gets. There's no way that you or I will ever top that. If I ever crushed an angry bear's skull with a stick, I'd be BRAGGING about that ****, even if I really DIDN'T want to have to kill the bear.

He had to kill the bear to live geez, these animal rights activists must care more about animals then other humans, and that is very strange and wrong.

It also just goes to show how disconnected from reality these guys are.

Remember when Timothy TReadwell was on David Letterman's show, and David Letterman asked, "so, am I gonna turn on the news and see that you've been eaten by a bear?" And Tim Treadwell was like, "no no, that's not gonna happen."

Dude. YOU'RE NOT A BEAR. You can hang out with the bears all you like, and pretend like you're one of them. Or you can pretend like they're just as civilized as people, and they won't eat you because you're a nice guy. But YOU'RE NOT A BEAR. The bears know that you're not a bear. So the whole time you're prancing around in magical fairy land hoping that the bears and the humans can one day get along, the bears are just looking for an excuse to bite the head off of that annoying weird looking animal with the cameras.

This reminds me, has anyone seen the movie "Grizzly Man"? It's a documentary about a nut who lived with bears in Alaska until he got eaten. What struck me about this movie is the bears' infinite patience. He was constantly invading their space, touching them, even slapping them when they got too frisky. Yet they didn't kill him for years. Guess it was only a matter of time. It's a great movie. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Although you are technically right, it's a very arrogant attitude, and one that will ensure extinction of great many species over the years. Why shouldn't bears have a right to a place where they can feel safe without human interference? Following that argument to its logical conclusion, city streets are not human space. Bears have as much right to be there as humans :(. Oh wait, I forgot that humans are somehow better. Only we may invade the other animals' spaces. If other animals invade ours, however, they'll be greeted with a bullet to the head.

Sometimes, I feel that humans are the least sympathetic of all creatures...

Yeah, that was Timothy Treadwell, the guy I was talking about. He seemed to legitimately think that he'd be okay trying to be a bear. That as long as he truly immersed himself in the role of a bear, that the bears wouldn't touch him. And then he got eaten by a bear.

And to the guy's credit, it's admirable how much he loved and respected bears. And he obviously knew how to deal with bears, or he wouldn't have lasted as long as he did.

But he wasn't a damn bear! The bears knew he wasn't a bear, and in the end, he got his ass killed just the same as any novice naturalist who doesn't know the first thing about dealing with bears. I can respect his goals, but the guy clearly had a major disconnect from reality going on. He wasn't merely coexisting with bears, it seemed like he was trying to BE a bear. And sadly, it ended in tragedy.

If bears can roam around in city streets without screwing stuff up or killing people, then sure. We'll let the bears wander around in our streets. And then a bear walking down Main Street will be no cause for alarm, since we know that the bear will respect our space.

But it doesn't work out that way. Bears generally don't want to wander around permanent human settlements anyway, which is all fine and good. And in the cases when they do wander near "peoples' space", they far too often tend to do things like scrounge around in someone's garbage can and then try to kill them when the owners walk out the back door to see what's causing all the noise.

Bears are too territorial to coexist with people, and that's all there is to it. They are too easily get the feeling that they are being threatened, and they are too likely to attack people who are minding their own business.

So yeah, bears have just as much right to attack a person walking casually through the woods as we have to shoot a bear that walks up to our back porch. The difference is that bears don't have guns. So we win.

What's more sad is PETA giving this man a hard time. Even if they're not "directly involved" as they claim, then the people involved should be ashamed of themselves. Furthermore we don't know that the dogs harassed the bears first. They probably just drew attention being smaller animals and making knows scouting moose. It says they were "scouting for moose". Here I'm not sure if they were implying he was a hunter, since I'm sure he would have shot the bear if he was hunting. Either way, I'm sure the man has been in the woods countless times, and has nothing but respect for animals, even if he is a hunter. Just an unfortunate case of man vs. nature, and this time man won. Timothy Treadwell wasn't so lucky, and he basically was the "bear whisperer".
