Animal Experts.......

Timothy Treadwell... Now THERE'S an "expert" on brown bears...
He told us how peaceful and loving brown bears are - and used to climb in their hibernation dens and sing to them. Then, he met a bear that was hungry....... Whatta schmuck. 
I think that may be the trouble - the name. We call them 'grizzly bears' and not 'thousand pound bear-shaped killing machines'.

We have a big cat rescue right outside the town where I live. Right now there are 75 residents. It’s a pretty cool place.
The warning they give is if a cat backs up to the fence move to the side so you don’t get peed on. I suppose worse things could happen. Little fear of animals in me. Being raised by a large animal vet may have made it so I learned early not to be scared but to show respect and be alert. “If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.” — Confucius (December 26, 2018 at 6:04 pm)arewethereyet Wrote: We have a big cat rescue right outside the town where I live.

Um no, there is no such thing as a "pet griz". There are only humans who should STAY THE FUCK AWAY! |
