Common Sense is Dead, Denali Bear Killed


I mourn the Denali Grizzly that was shot this past week for.... being a bear.   A photographer with beans for brains was within 50 yards of a browsing bear.  The bear was going about its business.  The season is going to change soon... time for bears to load up on food.  The last thing a feeding bear wants is any competition in its feeding space.   50 yards is pretty up close and personal.  Oh, yeah, let's not forget that grizzly bears can thrash the best human sprinter without trying.  So this idiot photographer gets himself killed.  Sad, but not the bear's fault!

Common sense says we humans should give bears a respectful distance and learn from the mistakes of deluded naturalists.  Instead, our fearless government agents moved in and killed the bear.  This is so stupid it makes me want to cry.  Are we really so locked in to a nanny state mentality that the govvie boys think they HAVE TO DO SOMETHING when a bear kills a person, because the quaking civvies DEMAND that GOVERNMENT DO SOMETHING?   Truly sad.  The government could have easily just reminded the public to stay 1/4 of a mile from a grizzly per established and published guidelines, and this is what happens when you don't.  Now go home.

A sad day for the Grizzlies of Denali, and an even sadder day for homo sapiens that still believe in personal responsibility and common sense.
