"Properly armed humans are always at the top of the food chain, wherever they roam. I think that isolates the problem here."
If it looks like a rabbit, and acts like a rabbit, it will be treated as such: prey for all predators. If it looks like a rabbit and bites like a rattlesnake, rabbits will be safer and predators more reticent.
Do grizzlies hunt rattlesnakes? Lions don't screw around with cobras .... there is a lesson in that.
Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of bears, I will fear no evil, for they are with me. My Browning and my Kalashnikov, they comfort me.
The posts on that article are a bizarre mix of pathetic and funny. I think the latter is unintentional.

ReplyDeleteBut... but that never happens in the Disney films! Baloo never et nobody!
ReplyDeleteDamn reality is on the fritz again.
Even in many supposedly settled areas, mosquitoes are on top of the food chain.

ReplyDeleteO the grizzly and her bear cubs
think your tent's a candy bar
Recommended: sawed off 12 gauge
DO NOT leave it in the car
In a campground, Sunday morning
All the campers, full of woe
Had some bears go on a rampage
Where the hell else would bears go?
Poor Old Yogi and little BooBoo
Just tell Mr. Ranger Sir
they came for my pic-a-nic basket
Left with slug-holes in their fur
Remind Yogi, Balloo and BooBoo
It is best if they turned and ran
They'll recall we make no truces
When the Bear walks like a man
Make ye no truce with Adam-zad
The bear that walks like a Man!
