Love this! Just had to share

I am not advocating for the group. I am not saying it is okay to electrify kill to test the bears. I just like that the bear outwitted them. That's all.

1. Bear: 1, Humans: 0

2. I think it was cruel. The bear knew that deers don't hang in trees.

3. Really? (not a sarcastic "really")

Considering the group that did this, I highly doubt they were being cruel. The shock, though a shock, couldn't have been much.

I do see your point but I don't think it was intended to harm. I'm glad the bear won.

4. I understand why it was done, but to dangle food in front of an animal

that has to acquire his own in order to live, and then shock it when it tries to get it, seems a tad on the cruel side.

5. Yeah. I tend to agree

Doesn't change the fact it was done though and the bear won.

I will email the group and let them know what we think. See what they say.

Thank you

8. Why was it done?

9. They said to see if it would work to keep bears away from hanging deer

I guess hunters do this often? Don't hunt so I don't know. You're making me analyze it. Why would a nature group want to do that?

I just thought it was cool the bear won. Now I'm thinking. That always sucks!

10. That's why I couldn't figure out the reasoning for it either

6. animal planet candid camera...

what's next - feed him peanut butter?

7. Can you explain to me what the group wanted to deter?

I don't get it.

Is it to prevent bears from eating road killed deer ?

11. no. I saw it on the news this morning

I love that the bear outwitted them. It wasn't until people started commenting I started thinking about the why.
