Poor bear...

Taking both sides of the coin into account it still seems wrong to kill it off. Hes more scared of you than you are of him keeps coming to mind. Tranquilizing him and putting him back in the wild seems much more sensible.
Hunting and eating = ok. Hunting because "hur hur hur I gots a gun what shoots" is not ok. I have friends and family who hunt, and that meat goes to feed their families. I know people who hunt just to kill things just to cut off heads/antlers just to say they could.
The point is that human beings have to realize that no matter wear they live they're going to come in contact with nature some how. If that threatens them and they've no other recourse then it's "ok" to kill. If a bear wanders into a neighborhood and climbs up a tree, maybe they should do the smart thing and just stay the heck away from it until it comes down and leaves. I don't believe in unecessary killing, and I feel this was unecessary.

Thats not right for ppl to kill bears.How would they like it if some1 just ran into there house and killed a loved one?Taking a life is plain wrong,damn the f'er to the deepest bowels of hell, right down there wit michael jackson.
It looks like the ground had a sex change.
In some places where I live, you have no choice but to kill animals for survival. If it's not right to kill bears, then it's not right to kill cows or chickens. And it's also not right to kill little bugs.
Sad? Yes, but that night they ate like kings.
I just said that. If you're feeding yourself, or defending yourself, then I have no problem with the killing of animals, be they wild or domestic. However, it's wrong to kill something because it interferes with your daily life.
And I don't kill ants, or bugs at all. I take them outside. Same with all the bugs and critters that have ended up in my house/basement.

Yeah but see the video I gave earlier and you'll see that guy wasn't after the bear...
You must admit there is a certain satisfaction to squishing bugs.Originally Posted by fire_of_avalon
Size of animal is directly proportional to its worth...in most cases.
Kill a billion one celled organisms every time you sit down, or a few
hundred thousand mites when you lie in bed, don't think about it for even
a split second. Kill an ant, whatever, some people do it, some don't, but
nobody really gets pissed about it. Kill a fish, some people will object,
most don't care. Kill a cat, you're a freak. Kill a bear, people post about
their outrage on a forum. A whale washes up on a shore, tens, if not
hundreds of people go to help it back into the sea.
Don't take this as me being an ass. I'm one of the illogical bastards who
will catch a wasp and get stung just so it can be released from the house
rather than killing it. Sort of realized the importance of life a few years ago
walking home. Saw an ant, was about to step on it for no reason other
than it stood out and I was walking toward it. Then I stopped and told the
ant he was the luckiest insect in his colony on that day. ;\

You talk to ants? :O_O:
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
Of course I don't talk to insects, that would just be--
Yes. I talk to ants. :\

History of the Bear
It was a 2 year old cub that was kicked out of its "nest" by its mother and just wondered into town erliear that morning. So it hadnt been a "nuisance" very long at all!
I could go into my whole Animal Rights speech, but I'll just stop it as OMFG! What were those damn people thinking, killing that bear? Were they high or on drugs? Just as easily as they shot it, they could have tranqued it and put it back where it had orginally came from. I want to Bear Foundation to come and shoot whoever killed the bear. I am totally pissed off right now
*You know it's over, growing colder, I need something, leads me next to nothing...*
*All we ever wanted, I need something, leads me next to nothing...*
someone just told me "it was too small to be tranqued. it would've killed it." WTF? does that make any sense. can't you get different doses? and if it was TOO small to be tranqued, then how much harm could it have been? sigh/grrr.
