They do that.

There's talk here in WA about re-introducing Grizzly Bears into North Cascades National Park and Olympic National Park, but the eastern Washington cattle associations get their tits in a wringer anytime this topic, or the similar one involving the re-introduction of wolves, comes up.

Incidentally, if you're ever in Winthrop, Twisp or Mazama and feel like getting your ass kicked, just tell a local you like wolves. Those fucking people...

Depends on the type of bear and why it's advancing / whether it's attacking! Generally it's good to calmly make yourself known and look large, as you say. This one already seemed aware and curious, but not necessarily threatening, so provoking it probably wouldn't be a great idea. It's a myth that running or trying to move away will activate a chase, especially if the bear is in territory with food - moving away while watching the bear and grouping together to seem larger was the right thing to do. Should the bear actually attack: If the bear's black, fight back (and/or call its bluff charge). If it's brown, lay down (play dead for brown or grizzly bears).

So... that so amazingly reminds me of my high school best friend and I.

I was the badger in that friendship, although the size difference was more Coyote and Kodiak Grizzly, but the attitudes are equivalent.

Video comes to a grizzly end too.

I like to think that I take a reasoned, understanding look at things. I really try not to do the knee jerk reaction. Often, even if something seems stupid, there’s actually a reason behind it.

But even I think that an "emotional support peacock" is taking the piss.

On my next flight, I will be demanding they allow my emotional support grizzly bear.

But even that will pale in comparison to when they have to build a tank for my emotional support great white shark.

Bah. Should have just bunny-hopped it. Although, there was bearly enough time to react. Could have had grizzly consequences. What? Don't like my black humour? I'm just ursine around.

Mamma grizzlies will take on, defeat, and send scurrying away full grown male grizzlies, who, by unanimous consensus fucking scare the shit out of every other animal.

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!

A grizzly bear and a wild boar are having sex somewhere inside that koala.

@bareboards2
yeah.i do not understand why he was hanging around while she talked shit.

it appears he may have messed her stuff up,and was looking for something that may have dropped.

we really do not know though.could be anything.could be he gave her boobs a goose for all we know.

we DO know that she was verbally abusing him.

i know i would have walked away.i have encountered women like this all through my life.apologizing just gets you a litany of new insults,and as long as you remain in their vicinity...the insults will only continue and get even more derogatory.

walking away is the best policy.

the majority of times that sufficed to appease their inner rage demon.maybe they would throw a few zingers at my back,but i never really gave a shit.more power to her..they are just words flying out of an entitled little girl who cant behave like an adult.

but...

on a few occasions.
the girl would follow right behind me,and continue to berate and harass me.possibly seeing my retreat as a sign of weakness.i really dont know.what i DO know,is that is a blatant sign of stupidity to take your 5"3" 110lb ass and try to jam it into my face as if you were rhonda rousey.

i have never hit a woman.
but i will not allow a woman to put her hands on me,especially when she has been verbally abusive and aggressive with me.

so the girls who have thought it totally ok to escalate the situation with physical violence,i have always responded in the same fashion: they get one shot.ONE.and then i whip around (and guys who have gotten into fights understand this) and in the most threatening and physically imposing manner,plainly let her know "ok thats ONE.go ahead and hit me again.i fucking DARE you.go ahead and hit me again and see what happens.because if you hit me again you are taking the place of a man,and AS a man i will knock you the fuck out".

i actually learned that from my dad.
one of the kindest and most gentle people you will have ever met,but his advice worked like a charm.

can you guess how many of those girls went for hit # 2?

thats right...none.

ya know.people get angry.
people can misunderstand a situation and react angrily.
humans will encounter conflict throughout our lives,and it is a testament to wisdom,intelligence and patience how we deal with those conflicts.

and there is never a time where it is ok to put your hands on another person,except for in self-defense.

so when a woman puts her hands on a man.
i dont care what level the rage meter is at,she should never put her hands on him.

for a few reasons:
1.its wrong.
2.you dont get a free pass because you own a uterus.
3.violence is never the proper choice for conflict resolution.
4.and most important.would you ever in your life walk up to a grizzly bear with a stick and start poking him? would you cry and whine about the unfairness of it all when that bear rips your face off?

use a little common sense and everything will be fine.

and did ya'all catch this womans glee?
the mere idea of her male friends killing this dude made her flush with excitement.that is a tad disturbing,but expected with such low quality females such as these.

experienced a bunch of women in that category as well.

but thats a story for another day.

simply put:this woman escalated the situation by making it physical and got popped in the mouth.
and thats all it was..a pop.
got her attention though didnt it?

so advice to all my lady friends here on the sift.
you have a right to your anger,your outrage and your indignation.
you do NOT have the right to be hitting,smacking or punching guys willy nilly without consequences.

and while i agree with BB (and others) that the dude should have just walked away,i will not put that responsibility solely on him.how is it HIS responsibility to control this womans actions.she hit.she got popped.
end of story.
