Holy shit! Lone Wolf and Cub! I have 3 omnibuses of that manga. Great stuff. I didn't know there were films.

When I was cub scout age in Calgary a guy from the left hand side of the normal distribution decided to test the safety of the ice on the Glenmore Resevoir by driving his VW Beetle onto it. It was safe for skating but not for cars.

I had a mother and two cubs move into our back yard for a week.
We had apple trees and they refused to leave until they had stripped all the trees.
The mother always kept the cubs at a distance, but the mother would come right up and stare into our dining room through the glass doors - of course this freaked the dog out.

One option was call wildlife services, and they treat bears like this in one way. Bears that move into housed areas are not afraid of people so they are put down. I decided to wait them out and not call.

In the end we managed to get them to leave by shooting at them with a pellet gun. Of course their hide is too thick for it to harm them. The mother did nothing when we shot at her, but when we decided to shoot at the cubs, (threatening them) the mother screamed at them and then bolted with them, and they didn't come back

Damage done?
No apples, not a real problem.
A scared dog who never wanted to sleep outside again.
Bear Feces - lots of it, cleaned up with shovels, lol.

You can hear the road near by. Mom probably met here demise there as you would never see cubs on their own with out Mama putting up a massive stink.

Racoons are mostly nocturnal as well so its not common to see them out and about in broad daylight.

Hope this guy took them in or found a shelter for them.

Ha that bear cub failed! YouTube video's description said "... One cub had a tough time going over -- and at last found a way under the fence..."

Strong damn fence. Mine only has a One Bear Cub rating.

Poor (hypothetical) wolf cubs!

I live in Chicago, and as a result, have a pretty good idea where those fireworks are coming from in relation to Wrigley Field, and I can only think, "Wow. It's November 2, and you have illegal fireworks laying around, presumably left over from the 4th of July when you got too drunk to finish setting them off."

Or there's the very real possibility that they had a strategic reserve of fireworks on the off chance that the Cubs ever won the World Series, which, if true, is more astonishing that any went off.

Nasty, but I'd love to see the other side of this.

"I was watchin' my cubs when this human comes up about 80 yards away. I mauled 'im good, but he got my right in the face with that spray. Right eye won't open. Mouth thtill burning. Sores coming up on my lips. My nose... I don't know what's goin' on in there. But legs are good, cubs are good, now I got to go the the creek."

Without the bear spray she might easily have been willing to take the time to finish the job, it's the best investment in the world if you like to walk in the woods (bears are common in rural Canada, sometimes even in small cities if people are feeding them). I've only run into black bears and never had an issue, a grizzly with cubs charging me would be a life flashing before your eyes moment I think.

Read this if you want an idea of the right actions to take in different situations, might come in handy some day!
