Dog and owner close encounter with a black bear

Lann says...

Not all bears are the same.

Preferably it's best to not interact with a black bear that's minding it's business so that dog is a little shit for running toward it and I can feel the frustration of it's owner. However if the black bear approaches you with agressive behavior, you actually want to make loud noises and look big. If they do attack (which is rare), fight back with everything you have. You do not play dead.

Grizzlies are a different story. You don't want to get loud and act bigger like you would with a black bear or mountain lion. I've been that close to a young griz when hiking with my grandfather but we just slowly backed up and went the opposite direction. The bear just kept on his path forward. Same thing happened many years before with my aunt and him only they encountered a mother with cubs. They did the same thing and nothing happened. Funny thing was it was in the same location.

Atheist in the Bible Belt outs herself because she is MORAL

Yes to the first paragraph quoted below. It would be hard to disagree that this is the result. My own bit was more about the reasons why *some* (not all, or even most) people might get involved in the discussion in the first place, regardless of what those comments actually became in the course of the exchange.

On the second quoted point, have to agree that I did use a bit of hyperbole there. Still, the lady skillfully avoided a direct answer to Wolf's question that was, in my judgement, highly irrelevant to the story. He then asked the question again, forcing the issue. Not normally a problem, except the question was in no way something that added to anything - until her answer trumped the entire interview.

I don't get how needing to know whether a person "thanked God" for not getting killed is worth the nation's time, and it seemed more a cub reporter's fumbling than a CNN's senior anchorperson performing an artful extraction of relevant story elements. Wolf didn't need to go there, and should not have.

I will not deny that "communication" is taking place in this thread, but my belief is that what's mostly being communicated is various posters' needs to show others how right they are (or how wrong their opponent is) which I find contributes little to the collective body of knowledge, and I don't foresee anything constructive coming out of that.

I like how you tried to steer the thread back on topic with the last part of your comment. I don't really see a "twisted media engine" as you put it at work. Rather I see a reflection of the cultural fact that Christianity still has a significant hold in America (what is it, like 75% of Americans polled identify as Christians?). I think maybe the reporter also made an over-generalization about the area too and just assumed everyone there is Christian. And to be honest, if he had asked that same question to a random sampling of 100 other survivors, don't you think the vast majority would have said "yes"?

You Came To The Wrong Neighborhood, Human

Man, what a bunch of idiot tourists with the buffalo.

I see people in the mountains all the time getting close to take pictures of bears, elk, and other big animals. I saw a big mama brown bear with two cubs once, backed off and gave them some room, then backtracked when they showed no signs of leaving the trail. Met a small group of Italian tourists, and I told them, don't go there, mama bear, with cubs, most dangerous kind of bear. They though that sounded awesome, bear cubs, that's what they wanted to see, so they ignored me and headed on up the trail.

Next day there was a story in the paper about how two Italian tourists had been mauled by a bear. I have no idea if it was the same ones, but I suspect it was them.

Is it so hard to ask? so hard for you to do ? (Documentaries Talk Post)

I don't have strong feelings on the subject, but you're wrong.

Pomeranian puppies are objectively the cutest, primarily when their fur is cut short and they look like tiny bear cubs.

WELL !

My work here is done.

Maybe now we can talk about puppies.

I think the cutest little puppy is a Cocker Spaniel.
