That's what I've been trying to say in my last post.

Well, another bear attack I heard of that was as disturbing as the little girl one was with that Utah boy being dragged out of a tent and mauled to death. They shot the bear after a few days. Sad, that the media demonizes these animals when they go by their instinct.

And much less dangerous than car drivers looking at the annual death toll -_-

You're not supposed to keep food in tents either otherwise you're just bound to attract all sorts of things. Some campers are just really (no offense) stupid and don't listen to bear warnings. If there are bears in the area, parks do explicitly tell you to keep food/coolers (because the bears know what coolers are) in cars and covered so they can't be seen. Just follow the darn rules.

People are the mindless ones, not the animals <_< . The girl probobly had the wrong idea about bears (you know how 6 year olds are) and probobly tried to go and see it, and the bear attacked by instinct. EVERYTHING animals do are by instinct. They either kill for food, or they kill because something threatened them, or something was invading their territorry.

I'm writing a book about animals. Humans are presented as greedy, mindless, and unthoughtful beasts (which we really are!) and the animals KNOW that humans are supposed to PROTECT the earth, not destroy it, and we ARE destorying earth and it's animals. And guess what? It's WAY too late to fix that!

Humans deserve it if an animal kills them. We're bound to desroy more and more of the earth. Thousands and THOUSANDS of animals have less homes than humans do, and it's OUR fault! I have no fear of animal (I don't think they're any animals I'm afraid of), and I'd rather not put them in misery. When ever I see people building houses, I make comments. "They should put in a bunch of trees with those houses" or "They should change the landscape" all because I want the ANIMALS to have room.

I got off topic

: . Yes, it's sad what happened to that girl. But 6 year olds think of bears as 'cute and cuddly' animals. I side with animals when it comes to animal attacks (on humans). They act out of instict. It was either hungry or freaked out. That's all I have to say.

Not always, ma'am (or sir. I perceived you to be a ma'am, but I've been wrong before). It's true that we are not always the good stewards we are meant to be of this beautiful Earth, but that doesn't automatically bill every human as a monster or bad care taker.

Would you call getting an apology from your dog an act of instinct? (see the wild animal thread in after midnight for details)
