Thank you Mark, I read about him too. Rip Meow. Your welcome. You can kill a kitty with kindness........ Mine have kibble in the bowl 24/7. But they have had since their kittinessness. So, I guess they don't have to feel they need to gorge. They know it's always there. They do get excited every day when fresh kibble and water is poured. And I have one, Purrball, who is just a bit on the plump side.....but not nearly able to be termed as obese. But she has been that way since a kitten. As the vet once said..... 'Little Purrball is not shy about stepping up to the plate...' LOL. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you. Ask what you can do for your kitty." As it is kitten, so shall it be done.  | |

An update to the bear I caught on video. It has been roaming the neighborhood, for the last few weeks, causing a lot of distruction. He was unafraid of people, and could not be scared off by gun shots in the air. It is a young male, and last night it was on my neighbors deck, tearing it up. The deck is right outside his bedroom, so he shot the bear. The police came out and gave our neighbor the proper tag. Our neighbor dressed the bear, and froze the meat. | |

Bear meat should be cooked just like raw Ham or pork, very thoroughly, why? For the same reason raw ham or pork is cooked thoroughly, trichinosis... ____________ BSG Anthem My Facebook page | |

Nuffin better than Bunny luvvin. Why is the car shooting lasers at bunny? ____________  In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move. - Douglas Adams | |

RIP Bear. Couldn't it have been moved into the wild somewhere? | |

RIP Bear. Couldn't it have been moved into the wild somewhere? I wonder what could have been done. It's tough when a bear is in a populated area and not afraid of people, that can become a problem. (I wouldn't personally have shot him, but I'd bet the police would have eventually) ____________ -Dave #2 | |

It is very difficult when a bear is no longer afraid of humans. When they move such bears around here, they need to be moved hundreds of miles away from humans. They will travel great distances for food. I wonder how far away from Steve's area you have to go to be hundreds of miles away from humans? | |

Then again if it's not scared of people, let alone gunshots, it is I'd say a tad dangerous. (What's a proper tag?) ____________ In an alternate universe, it was a ZX81 that asked for clothes, boots and motorcycle. Beer/wine o'clock, the best of the o'clocks.

We are such a "successful" species that it is hard to find open spaces to relocate animals anymore. (Why is human over-population not a bigger world-wide concern?) Anyway, Eric comes from a (by California standards) sparsely populated and extremely rural place. Imagine how happy the residents of this area would be if everybody in Wisconsin and neighboring states dumped their problem bears and wolves up there?!!! In California, every once in a while some cougar develops a "taste" for jogger. The poor kitty is generally treed and shot immediately, which I totally understand. It is a sad, but necessary evil. RIP Steve's bear. | |

If I lived next door to Steves neighbour, I'd be reporting him to every animal charity that there was, copy to all newspapers, and I would also be reporting the local police to the State Governor for going along with it. That might be the way you do things out there, we are a bit more civilised in the UK. | |

A cougar came down from the local mountains above Santa Monica, they did shoot a dart into the kitty to try and save it, but then the cat bolted from it's hiding place in a building courtyard that was enclosed on 3 sides, they could have waited until the opening was blocked off to shoot the dart, so the SMPD shot the cat instead, killing it, people didn't like that one bit... As to Your Kitty, Joggers must be tasty lean meat, Jogger juices indeed, still it was too bad the big cute kitty cats couldn't be saved. ____________ BSG Anthem My Facebook page | |

That being said, Chris....... I too do not like trophy hunting, hunting for food and to keep the deer population under control is ok with Me, as they can be as dangerous as a big cat, those antlers on their head aren't just for show, their deadly weapons. ____________ BSG Anthem My Facebook page | |

That possibility changes your point of view about cute little furry creatures. The point that I was trying to make in previous posts was that you might have to transport that bear a VERY long way to get it 100+ miles away from humans. Even here in southern Ontario you are looking at 2 days drive to get a bear that far away from edible humans. I agree that shooting the bear is a shame, but as a taxpayer you have ask what are the priorities for your hard earned money. One bullet is very cheap. ____________   | |

Extinction is also very expensive and every creature needlessly lost is a loss for genetic diversity as this effects survival, moving the bear would always be better, even if the bear needs to be flown somewhere instead of driving, as everything is in some way dependent upon others for survival, no creature large or small can exist by itself and this applies to Humans too. ____________ BSG Anthem My Facebook page | |

It took me some time, but after many visits I have come to understand deer hunting in Northern Wisconsin. Deer meat is a very important part of the local diet. Not much gets wasted. If somebody doesn't want the meat from a deer he/she has shot, that person generally donates the deer to the local food shelter up there. Bears are hunted there too and the meat is made into sausage. | |

The bear was killed at 1:00 AM, while almost breaking into my neighbors house. Their are children around here, as well as many pets. The bear had been destroying things for several weeks. Several neighbors had tried to scare it away, including the neighbor across the street from me. That is where it was last night. Directly accross the street, on the neighbors back deck, tearing the place up. The bear refused to run away when a warning shot was fired, so he shot it. I feel bad for the bear, as I really liked it, but I understand they are dangerous, especially when not afraid of humans. My neighbors property was under attack, and the bear was trying to get into his house. I don't blame him for shooting it. I don't know of any bear relocation program around here, especially at 1:00 AM. I am glad no people were hurt in the last few weeks as the bear went from house to house destroying whatever he could find that smelled like food. | |
