Odd title for this article wouldn’t you say? I chose this title because of a similar title I placed on an article I wrote back in February of 2007. It was titled, “Me and Teddy Roosevelt Were Best Friends.”
What prompted the title invoking the name of Teddy Roosevelt, was because I was tired of people making statements about Teddy Roosevelt much because they believed they understand what was on Roosevelt’s mind over a century ago. In addition, untold quantities of uninformed mouth pieces, yap about Teddy this and Teddy that, when they know nothing about the man and their abuse of poor Teddy comes from quoting him, mostly out of context, or fabricating thoughts Mr. Roosevelt must have had that would support one’s agenda.
Evidently, the pickings have reached the bottom of the barrel and some people are not even adept enough to lie about dead people to promote their agendas. No, they have to pick on animals. After all, like knowing what Teddy Roosevelt was really thinking, these clowns actually think they know what animals think and how they feel.
For purposes of this discussion most any animal could be front and center but let me pick on the black bear for a moment.
Say what you will about mentally retarded environmentalists but they sure know how to pick a tool that will put money in their bank accounts to pay those big salaries. After all, there are lawsuits to be won.
In the State of Maine, Washington, D.C.-based totalitarian environmentalists, specifically the Humane Society of the United States, have waged another war on the citizens of Maine in an attempt to stop bear hunting and trapping. In addition, it appears that I have discovered one such person that must be best friends with a bear and is therefore more qualified to tell the voters of the Pine Tree State about bears than bear scientists.
I have done my share of dumping on wildlife scientists but as bear biologists go, the ones up in Maine do a better than average job of studying and understanding about bears. They just don’t want to believe that bears are eating up too many deer fawns and moose calves. But that’s another story.
The problem with this soul mate of the black bears, is she was caught telling stories about bears that just don’t seem to agree with other people’s information about bears. Fortunately, Cathy DeMerchant, a board member of the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine took the time to challenge Connie McCabe of her claims and provide the evidence disproving those claims.
Bear (sorry) in mind, that it is difficult to dispute McCabe’s bear findings, being one with the bear and all and rumors have it that recently Spock appeared to administer a “mind meld” with the bear. Therefore, it is up to readers to decided whether information about bears is more reliable from bear scientists or from Spock’s mind meld.
All joking aside…….well, I doubt that very seriously. Despite the humor I’ve injected into this inane debate of Teddy Roosevelt and black bears being my best friends, it is no joke that environmentalists from away want to destroy a nationally recognized bear management program in order to pimp their anti human, perverted love affair with having lots of stolen money in their bank accounts.
These gangsters and thugs will go to any extreme for that money. The bear’s best friend’s commentary is an example of what, in comparison, would be considered stretching the truth to influence opinion. Don’t be fooled. It is a pretty good rule of thumb when anyone is offering up all sorts of claims about bears or any other animal, without any kind of substantiating resources, it’s probably just lies…..er, I mean stretching the truth.
To further that discussion consider that one of the excuses these environmentalists are using to argue against using bait to lure a bear into a shooting area, is that the food stuffs being used for bait is not good for the bears. Some of what is being used is junk food. Environmentalists love to pick on doughnuts as being a really nasty food for bears (they say this while sipping Starbucks and gumming a glazed doughnut).
I have even heard and read claims from people that bears become addicted to this bait food and that the bears are storming down the doors of Nurtisystem, Weight Watchers and Overeaters Anonymous. The only hope for these bears is to ban bear hunting and trapping. It is important that we get bears onto a strict natural diet and NO 24-oz. soft drinks. Thank God for animal rights activists like Michael Bloomberg!
To help with getting bears onto healthy diets (don’t forget. People know this because they are best friends with bears…and mind melds), more and more towns like Tallahassee, Florida are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to make and distribute bear-proof garbage cans. Hundreds of thousands of dollars when a $1.00 bullet would be a long term solution to an unnecessary problem.
With all this focus on man’s best friend, the bear, to lock them out of garbage cans and break them of their honey-dipped doughnuts addiction, I’m afraid of what will happen to hungry bears with the DTs!
Oh, we’ve become such a foolish society. God help us.
