Remember - a good mount doesn't amount to much if you don't stick the dismount. Unless of course your a mountee.

They should shoot their beavers: All Canadians are pussies!
They should bare their asses, too: Half the country would be exposed.
Kill the zombie MFing bear.

. Conservation officials say the bear was caught, but may be killed to ensure public safety.
Sounds like the Bear knows more about public safety than most human.

This reminds me of a pretty old joke about a tour bus in Yosemite Valley and the tour's member's encounter with some bears--something about the Czech being in the male? I don't know if there were Cdns involved.

He mentioned "scent" and that there was very little, decay hadn't advanced very far. Well bears scent is prollie a hundred times stronger than ours, and the dood was dead. the bear new this. it has never and prollie never will seek out live people. it found food, dead food. it is all the same to them, whether it is a dead deer or cows or horse or elk or whatever. they do not differntiate, ie. "Oops, this is a human, us bears can't eat human, it's a no, no."! to them, food, dead food is all the same. if someone had left a cooler full of food or whatever in the car then it would have went after that. it was doing what it instinctually does. they are scavengers. so now their going to kill it...how lame!

That shoots down the idea the bear was in any way zombified.
Don't waste your time trying to refute the thing about Canadians being pussies. That is subjective.
So, Splitter, or any other bear huggers, is it going to be public service for the bear?
Chase it into a tree and stone it? Set it up as an advertising icon for a burger chain?

In 1998, we had a large search going on for a missing Alzheimer's patient who had wandered away from his son's motorhome while camping at Mono Village, below the Sawtooth Range south of Bridgeport. The Sheriff suspended the search after 96 hours of searching produced zero results.
About 6 weeks later, a call came in from that very trailhead from a small group of backpackers who had gotten off trail while descending from the area of The Cleaver, and bushwhacked their way down Blacksmith Canyon. They reported "possible human remains" in an area of forest a few hundred yards above the valley floor.
I organzed a small detail of SAR personnel and, along with the Coroner, we began a search of the area. As soon as we arrived in the area reported, the smell of death was VERY apparent, and within minutes we began finding remains of the very human kind. (Out of respect for the lost, I will not post any pics)
We found virtually ALL of the major bones immediately....femurs, spine, pelvis....all neatly chewed of any remaining tissues by obviously LARGE teeth. In fact, the only tissue we found was the right hand, bitten off cleanly from the wrist, and shriveled into a mummified kind of state.
We also found the subjects wallet and it's contents, as well as his medical ID bracelet, confirming him the Alzheimers patient we had searched for. However, after most of the day of searching, we found NO skull. A few weeks later, one of our search dog handlers used the area as a training with a few other dog teams, and the dogs did locate that skull, confirming the victims identity.
Examination of the bones concluded that the subject was eaten by a black bear.
Our best summation for what happened was that the victim likely drowned in Robinson Creek, which was flowing heavily when he went missing. The bear then found his body in the water, then proceeded to drag that body a few hundred yards up very steep terrain, to a nice, secluded spot, where it then feasted. (The victim's son said there was no way his father could have walked up that grade due to his physical limitations)
Omnivores indeed!

They just euthanized the Canadian bear. The the bear who dragged off the dead human
was guarding his cache. It evidently liked the taste of humans and unfortunately there's
no free lunch, not even for bears.
