Mystery Meat

[unknownfate]

So there are polar bears in town again! And I was thinking that I didn't remember polar bears showing up this early and wondering what would be bringing them in at this time of the year. Then, I looked out the window.

There's a dumpster across the street and someone had dumped what looked to be like a dead seal next to it. Not IN the dumpster, just beside it. I can't be sure it was a seal because it didn't have a head or any limbs, but whatever it was, it a hunk of meat about the same size I am. It was sort of seal-shaped. I don't know what it was, but a bear would probably think it was edible.

The trouble is, a bear would probably think I was edible too!

I hate that many of my friends think the "coke bears" are cute. I have always thoguht they were huge and scary.

...and you have done nothing but confirm my fears!

ACK!

And even if there were no bears to fret over, having a chunk of meat that size rotting in front of your house is not pleasant either.

I just got done reading a book on Timothy Treadwell and Amie H., who were both mauled to death by bears (Timothy Treadwell claimed he was a 'bear whisperer' and that if we just show the bears love, they will love us back. He used to go right up to them telling them 'I love you cupcake'). It's a horribly sad story but it also makes what most people know, very clear, respect the bears by staying away from them!

I'm already afraid of bears. And there should be some law against leaving rotting carcass' in people's neighborhoods! Do you guys have any bear spray in the house? I read that it produces a faster effect than a shotgun (since you can shoot a bear several times and it will continue charging).

Anyways, please be careful up there.

Poor Timothy and Amie... The saddest part was when the man who analyzed the tape of their death was telling it to Timothy's mother and advising her to destroy it without listening to it. So sad!

But yes. I was terrified for the poor man all through watching the special on him. Even knowing what happened.

We have no bear spray. I've never even seen any in town...

Yes, it is very sad. Especially for Amie, who was already afraid of bears and just along for the trip.

You should order some bear spray. After all, you're in charge of protecting the tikes from bears right?? ;) You can clip it to your belt and spray it from there. It shoots a blast up to 30 feet. And, since bears only take about 1.5 seconds to reach you once they charge, it's a lot faster to depress a button than to lift and aim your shotgun!! I read in that book that the spray will stop a charging bear, but shotgun blasts usually won't, they'll just make the bear angrier.

Oh, and don't buy the cheap stuff, it doesn't work. You have to buy the real deal, which is expensive, but it's worth it since, well, it actually stops bears..!
