Guy feeds wild bear cookies with his mouth.

WHY?

What’s the reward for the risk involved?

  3. Really bad to feed the wildlife, they get used to it and can’t forage for themselves when they need to survive. Parks usually post signs saying not to feed the wildlife for this reason.
    Just like people who pass laws to give others permanent welfare.

  4. …well, he just killed that bear.

    The reason they tell you NOT to feed the bears is because they get too familiar with people feeding them, so they lose their fear, scare someone, and the bear gets upset and, being an animal, hurts someone.

    So they have to kill it because it will always hang around people until something bad happens.

    So good going, douchy “animal lover”.

    You’d have done better to shoot it on the spot.

  9. He needs a Bill Engvall sign – Do Not Feed the Morons – so he will soon be eliminated from the gene pool. Although if he keeps at it a bear may speed up the process.

    However, I think sometimes God protects fools, either from mercy or as a way to urge the rest of us to be more grateful for not being a fool. [There but for the grace of God goes I]

    From what I’ve read – more people are attacked by black bears than grizzlies, because the fear factor is higher. In the same way more people are electrocuted by 110VAC 60hz (US standard) than by 220VAC 50 hz (European standard). 60hz being closer to natural heart beat frequency than 50hz is probably is also a factor.
    But higher fear of losing your life from being foolish with 220 volts is likely the greater factor.

    That is a factor that people don’t respect common household voltage like they do high voltage, but I work as an electrican now and as a medic before with different voltages up to 600 volts, and the salient feature is how your body reacts to it.

    You see, higher voltages like 480 may or may not kill you depending on the path they take through your body, but it will mostly blow a hole in you and push you off, so if the initial surge didn’t kill you right away, you’ll probably live to learn to use your hook hand, provided it didn’t cook your heart or brain on the way out (you get entry and exit wounds like a gunshot, but unlike a gunshot, not in a relatively straight line, but rather the path of least resistance. Rule #1 in electricity, it follows the path of least resistance. Rule #2, don’t be the path of least resistance).

    110/120, on the other hand, isn’t sufficient to blow your hand off it, so it most likely will make your muscles “clamp”, so you hold on even though you don’t want to and roast, and you may shift and thrash and so end up with MULTIPLE burns through your body and a MUCH better chance of dying from cardiac electromechanical dissociation (EMD).

    We had a guy named “Bud” who got ahold of a 120 conduit that was shorted by water inside, and he kind of twitched, fully conscious, but couldn’t let go till we pushed him off with a broom handle. He didn’t get it too bad because the water gave it a resistance ladder effect, but his nickname was forevermore “Buzz” after that.

    Less humorously, there was a fellow my squad responded to who was doing a concrete pour out of a very large bucket swung by a crane, and he was standing in wet concrete and put his hands on the bucket at more or less the same time the crane intersected a 70,000 volt transmission line.

    The external physical damage wasn’t a lot to write home about, quarter-sized holes through his gloves into his hands for entry, and silver dollar sized exit wounds in his feet, but dude was roasted internally, his heart was jacked, and his brains were pudding. I’m told they pulled the plug the next day even though he was a young guy who was technically alive, the damage was just too severe.

    So respect the electricity, and respect the bears, and no one needs to die.

    Treat either carelessly, and bad things happen to you both…

    “That idiot is just trying to bruin my weekend. I can’t bear to watch it! I don’t wanna boar you, but as you sow, you reap. But let us paws, and head to the maul.”

    …your comment is almost overbearing, but it hooks its claws in you and is a real honey pot to infur things from, it’s oso good and Ursa major commentor…

  24. 99th Squad Leader is right! Animal control needs to go over to his house and lock it down with a quarantine and then he can start treatment for possible rabies. That might make him think twice.

    Too bad he did not earn his Darwin Award.

  25. A history: 50 hz vs 60 hz acv power, and how it got that way:

    Kind of interesting. Because at one time the power frequencies used varied widely. Very widely. Approaching the mess from when every town, province, country had their own system of weights and length measurements.

    @Butthead – give me a fookin break, won’t ya. Everyone has brain flatulence once in a while, and writes or says something that wasn’t want they meant. As long as you don’t approach Biden levels, you’ll be ok. It was more than fifty years ago when I went to electronics school, where at that time they taught 50hz was chosen in Europe because it was thought, at the time, to be safer than 60hz for some reason. It might have been that it was believed 60hz was more difficult to let go of than 50hz and therefore more likely to cause a person to hold on longer and have heart fibrillation or be electrocuted. A theory now discarded as there isn’t much difference between the two frequencies. Anyway, it looks like 50hz vs 60hz seems to have been chosen more to create a business monopoly for equipment sales than for any safety reasons. Likely also having a component sprouting from the feud between Edison, vs Westinghouse “War of the Currents”.

  27. Big old bear was taken about a mile from my place here in North Maine.
    672 pounds.
    They boys were feeding him a barrel of donuts a day.
    It’s reported that there a couple of selfies floating around the webs of the boys and the bear sharing a chocolate covered cruller before they blew him away.

  29. A perfect metaphor for the Demonrat party. Feeding cookies from their mouths to ensure docile servitude.

    Well their assess are about to get eaten come Nov 3. The black bear is awake and not in the way Demonrats think.
