Monster News – ‘Bears’

Aww, look at ‘im… those funny ears and warm brown eyes :-
BUT ……
I mean, what is it with some people!? Bears will fuck you up – FACT. Ask Timothy Treadwell. Death by Bear has got to be up there with Death Under Train. Slow, gruesome, painful and disturbing in the extreme to anyone looking on.
Sigh…. Maybe it’s because some folks feel this kinship towards animals; that you’ll somehow garner more respect from an animal because you like them so much. They won’t harm you because in some way you’re more like them than other people. BUT YOU’RE NOT.
Bears will fuck you up. Even Paddington, I kid you not.

To anyone reading this who hasn’t seen Grizzly Man, the documentary about Timothy Treadwell, and his love of living with the bears (hint: It doesn’t end well for our Timmy) you really should take the time to watch it. Superb film, and a great reminder of “Oh shit! Bears!”
Another reminder is the tale of Martin the Bear, at Jardin Des Plantes, Paris, but that’s a yarn for another day.

I hear if you tickle them under the chin while making a buzzing noise through your teeth, they think you are a beehive and start licking you instead of biting you. In the confusion, you can leg it.
I’m also told nothing is more viscereally entertaining than watching someone tickle and buzz at an angry bear.
I’m sure the two facts are unrelated.
