Jeff,so you are going to base your judgement of all bears on your two occurrences?Really? I am not saying any animals are blood thirsty and out to hunt down man,what I will say is that all animals(predators)main goal is to breed,protect and eat,and eat usually comes first.Do not kid yourself that we...humans are on the menu,are we preferred?"No,"given the opportunity though....also if either of those bears would have felt cornered bet your azz they would have been dangerous.Also,that bear not running from you isnt a natural action...do you really think that bear just wanted to be "friends"?I am not about wiping out all of anything either...far from it,I will however speak up when people are viewing wildlife through Rose colored glass's.I have seen the "bad",side,and am here to tell you that Mother Nature knows no "Humane",eitherWell I have 2 Bear stories. the first, I was walking on an old mining road, with my head down, Looking at tracks thinking I wonder if these are bear tracks. all of a sudden just to the top of my Eye Sight something caught My attention & I looked up to have a semi Large black Bear immediately in front of me standing on his hind legs . Yes I almost walked into him. I of course Froze. He came down on all fours. I Didn't turn away, But I think I did step back a couple paces & as I did he turned & weighed his odds of running, or climbing I thinkbut all of a sudden he walked in a tight circle in front of me and sat down
after I got my breath back I backed up slowly turned around and walked home. second time I was sitting in the Parking lot at the Bar I worked at waiting for the owner to show up and a bear walked out of the woods to the right of me & headed directly towards the Passenger door of my car. when he reached me he walked to the front. as he reached the front of my car, I tried to wind my window down, & as I moved he looked in my windshield from the front of my car, saw me & Spooked running off to the left & into the woods. So as I say. It is very hard to convince me Bears are anything more then Large neighborhood cats, roaming around for a free meal. I suppose Hunters like to be able to say "it was either him or Me" When showing off that Mount
animals do not have feelings like human beings do. any Feelings people Imagine an animal showing, are just that , Imagination.
nobody with any smarts is denying that Jaguars are not in the US because they are and have been....fact is the last FEMALE was killed in 1962.There is however NOT herds of Black felines...there is no breed of Black Cat...there is Melanism that is more prone in Jaguars.....
