Who else has a phobia of bears

I'm okay with bears. I'm not especially afraid of them, but if I saw one on the loose I would go in the opposite direction.

I don't, however, have any desire whatsoever to own a bear. I sometimes watch Fatal Attractions on Animal Planet, and it always freaks me out, because bears are kinda gross, and look like they would stink. If I had to own a large deadly predator as a pet it would have to be a cat of some kind. I like Cougars and Cheetahs.

Today at lunchtime my cat sat at the table like a little person, and when I got up he started meowing. I had to pick him off the bar stool in the kitchen bar. He immediately started purring as soon as I picked him up, so I gave him so treats just because he's cute.

I don't think I want to be near a bear, but I'm not actively thinking about how scary bears are either.

Kind of hard to answer because you should be afraid of bears. What would a phobia of them look like for you?

farmers whinging about wolves killing their livestock is stupid, they've just come back and are still extremely low in numbers and do not have a thriving population yet in most parts of America. maybe if in one area the wolf population reaches several hundred then yes I can see the reasoning for a possible season of wolf hunting to limit the numbers a bit, but damn give the wolves a chance to actually populate first; the moment their introduced people are calling on them to be culled immediately.

and it's not like wolves are constantly on the lookout for livestock to kill, they fear humans and aren't that inclined to go near human structures or where humans frequent; generally a wolf that resorts to killing livestock is either old and frail and too slow to catch wild prey like deer, is sick, or the local prey in the area had declined/left and there is nothing else to eat.

if you live out in rural land like a farmer and raise livestock expect to lose a couple to the local predators, it's not the farmers home after all it's the wildlife that lives there.

its fuckin awful

if it aint got hooves it aint good red meat

Noted I guess I'd have to burn it to a crisp then never can be to sure. Read up on the worms so it is something I'd wish to avoid.

Challenge accepted.

Bears are cute.

I want to eat a bear so no I'm not scared of them But they should be of me.

I love bears because they look so damn cuddly. Too bad one swipe of one of their paws could kill you :(
