I will never claim to be an outdoorsman or some sort of survival expert, but I've learned over the years of camping and being in the mountain areas that when one happens upon a bear, of any size, there is but what one appropriate reaction: run, flee, avoid, escape.
Recently I've caught two articles on what can only be described as living proof that natural selection is alive and well in our society. The morons shown in the photo from here in the San Bernardino mountains clearly do not understand the implications of what they are doing and have somehow learned to overcome one's natural born inclination to avoid man-eating animals.
In Colorado, moron number two thought not only feeding bears was a great idea but decided to do so, on a regular basis at her house. Why their like pets she told friends! Imagine the hilarity that ensued when neighbors came over to discover her being eaten by same bears at her home.
Can you really blame the bears?
you're right about natural selection....that must have been messy though!
