Perhaps you need to stumble across a 700 lb bear in the woods and then you would feel differently (that is after you scraped away the shit that ran down your legs).
How do you think I feel when I see my mom for the first time in a few weeks?

It's funny that the bear didn't even go near the peepeeoh, I bet he just loves bears .. like this nature guy did .. right up until it etted him like a corndog.
warning .. if you have a weak stomach, I highly suggest you just keeping moving .. don't say I didn't warn you (3 times) .. it's also NSFW due to some male frontal nudity.

Wait, aren't you making a decision for me by killing off the predators?I just wish you, and your ilk, would stop making those decisions for me and others. You want to gather your slingshot and go face a mountain lion, fine. Save your money and head off to the wild regions. Just stop inflicting your insanity on me and all the rural town folk that are sick to death of your bravery that only they face.
If they feel that way, then they shouldn't be rangers. Read the purpose of the national park system.The woman who has been living with my brother for about 15 years now is a ranger. She shares my opinion. So does every other ranger I have ever spoken to.

You should read better. That quote you have (which I posted earlier) is from an act signed in 1916.Nice try. Nice stretch.
The National Park System
Caring for the American Legacy
"...to promote and regulate the use of the...national parks...which purpose is to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations."
The first National Park was Yellowstone in 1872 and we were aggressively killing off bears, mountain lions and wolves at the time; moreover, the parks are for 'enjoyment' and not survival.
That is by far the dumbest statement of this thread. Congratulations.People that want bears should be forced to have one in their house.
Well, that certainly is high opera of you duder.

I've stumbled across 4 bears in the woods on separate occasions. You know what they did? They shambled away. In fact the most threatening animal I've ever encountered was a moose, the great predator of plant life.

You post a quote that stated the purpose of the National Park System, then proceeded to talk about the National Park of Yellowstone before the System was founded. So yes, there is a difference. One actually applies to the parks today. Guess which one.There is a difference between the first National Park and the National Park system. But does it really matter? The point is that we were killing off predators when the first National Park was formed and when the system was created.
The parks are for preservation and enjoyment. But, basis their history, they were not intended to preserve predatory animals; rather, they were for the enjoyment of the citizenry.
Seeing as they stationed the Army in Yellowstone to stop poaching in 1877 1. I think "conservation" has always been the idea.There is a difference between the first National Park and the National Park system. But does it really matter?

Each year in Alaska, there are more moose-related deaths than bear-related deaths.
Mooses are herbivores, and it's a darn good thing they are. Otherwise there'd be even more moose-related deaths.
