"We need to kill some of these bears and we need to kill some of these moose," he said.

I don''''t get it. Ir seems to me that insurance salesmen should be fair game...

Totally agreed. We''re just an animal of a different type. We''ve fooled ourselves into thinking we''re superior, special, privileged.

We''re more intelligent (most of the time) and have a few other advantages, but that''s all. The dividing line between humans and animals is MUCH closer than most are comfortable believing.

After consideration, I realize Reverse Darwinism actually works. Survival of the idiotic. Only a fool fights in a burning house. Only an idiot gets near bears in their natural habitat. For reference, see the late Timothy Treadwell, RIP.

And just who was the crack-brained slave driver that thought it was a good idea to hold a 24 hour bicycle race through known bear infested territory? What was he/she on, pray tell?

As a general rule, "Live and let live" works. However, that being said, when a human is assaulted, they have the right to defend themselves. I don''t condone ruthless killings, but we have a right to exist too. Out of all of Northern Canada, to say nothing about Alaska sizewise, humans and bears (and moose to boot), should co-exist and find a natural balance and respect for eachother.

Obviously the bears are separatists! It''s no coincidence this all happened around the time the Russians went into Georgia. Will they now come into Alaska to protect the bears?

"The bears were here before we were," Parker said. "You don''t go swimming in shark-infested waters and don''t expect to be bit."

AMEN

If people would stop being so foolish these things could be avoided most of the time like the bike race on a creek at night! It''s stupid. We never even had all night races of any kind when I was young, its idiotic!

Mike Vogel selfishly said:
"I think the pecking order needs to be re-established with humans on top," he said. "What other city in the world has pernicious wildlife running around in its city parks?

Hey Mike, why don''t you go back to where you came from?

[cbsfan73]

Mike Vogel, a 51-year-old insurance agent, was stomped by a moose in 2003 on a popular city trail. A year later, a moose charged at him near the same location, so the 14-year resident of Anchorage shot and killed it.
"We need to kill some of these bears and we need to kill some of these moose," he said.

I don''t get it. Ir seems to me that insurance salesmen should be fair game...

As usual the animals will lose the battle again. We take all the land from them and they have to survive where and on what they can.
