Yes, I do know that and I do try to keep it in mind when I do " Sweat the Small Stuff. " By the way, do try and stay away from those bears. They are not friendly although yours seem to be friendly. You should not start to feed animals if you are not going to continue. If this bear had been fed and then the people moved or stopped, the next time he show up, tell him to go ransack their house.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 I just think I had better water...it was fresh, cool, clean, and chemical free! The day following the bear, I was out on the pool deck on my raft (a glutten for punishment). I had the car alarm control for my truck, and the cell phone on the deck. We have 2 fawns that come and mutilate my garden daily. Well, I heard something and scampered out of the pool and there was the little deer looking at me as if to say " what is your problem, it's only me " . I wish they would drink! Something happened to their mom. So, they are all alone. They seem to be eating and doing relatively well, but it is so dry here! Missy > By the way, do try and stay away from those bears.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 Not funny Allicia...you have no idea how many birds I end up with in the spring because I know how to handfeed. LOL I am involved with the local wildlife center. That is how I got my big idea on how to chase the bear off...Lot of help that was! I enjoy the wildlife here, but the situation is a bit strange this year since we had a huge fire on the mountain 2 weeks ago, and it is still burning underground? So far is has claimed 180 acres, so the animals area all coming down. Our yard abbuts the mountain, so they wander right in. I saw 3 red-taild hawks today all at one time...that has never happened before. > awww bless their hearts....I hope they make it ok...sounds like your running > quiet the wildlife operation...lol Heck maybe if you get a license to keep > all these animals you could start a wildlife reserve or something...lol > Allicia > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 .. You should not start to feed animals > if > you are not going to continue This was not meant to imply that you should stop feeding the animals but that others that buy some animal because it is a cute baby and when it stops being a cute baby, they take it out and turn it loose and the animal does not know how to cope for itself. People are especially bad at doing this with dogs and cats. There should be something done to people like that.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 Oh, I know! And...believe me...I have seen far too much impulse buying of dogs and cats, not to mention the puppy mill factor introduced with that topic. I am going to shut up now because I don't think anyone wants to hear my off the wall views on this stuff! LOL I have always felt that if you wanna feed birds and squirrels, be my guest. But, when you start feeding bears you are only hurting them, not helping them. The situation at Yellowstone park is an excellent example. Due to humans feeding them, they rely on the humans for food, and then the bear ends up stepping over the line of contact and gets destroyed...like the bear is supposed to know when to stop! I used to think that we were the intelligent species...Sometimes I am not so sure anymore. I'm done...really!
