Deliberately scaring a bear - Bear Whisperer - BBC animals

[consuelo1962]

why are you terrifying BEARS????  YOU are in his/her land !!!!!!!!!!! How would you like some asshole after you with a shot gun? this is despicable!

[tashthebitch]

@consuelo1962 i think they have gotton so close to the bear that they want to frighten her away otherwise she might think bad evil hunter guys are goin to be as nice as them men there in the vid and end up gettin shot, basiically there teaching the bear dont go upto any other humans coz there dangerous and will kill u , they arent all like us.

[potctk]

@tashthebitch i see your point, sad thing is the animasl arnt getting closer to us, were getting closer to them some people are scared of them so they kill them...........so sad i love these wild animals so graceful espically the wolf

[HenryDavidT]

This is what it comes down to, at the dawn of the 21st century: homo sapiens have mutliplied until we have reached 7B, pushing for the 10-12B mark the next 4-5 generations. All other large animals (which require 100s to 1,000s of sq.km to live) have been reduced from 10s of millions to a few 100 scattering here & there in "national parks," tiny fractions of their open ended range for millions of years; & even in such socalled protected parks, they are not safe from man's violent nature.

[bizzarrogeorge]

I thought this jackalope was going to start crying. What's with the sappy music? He's just scaring the bear away. This guy gives English people a bad name.

[JackKangaroo1]

They did the right thing. Better to scare her off now than have some asshole trophy hunter with a small dick, a pea brain and a big gun to compensate putting a bullet in her.

[peckington]

Stop being such a baby penguinistas!

[Aliofdeath]

you can pure hogwash me all you like and discredit my opinions by my obvious lack of life experience. I have volunteered before, for a year, moving trees, digging pits, moving compost, laying bark. i'm not a stranger to physical labour. in fact, when i trained with the Black Watch regiment last year i learned one hell of a lot about physical labour.

[Aliofdeath]

the world would be a better place without it in my oppinion, it only serves to keep people under control by those in power. you need money, you need to conform to our way, its all sickening and it just brings a fauls sence of happyness and security. does money stop your kid being hit buy a car? or killed by a robber? or dieing of a cold or disease? it might put i roof over your head and food on the table but those things are easely acomplished without money.

[Aliofdeath]

no i dont live with my parents, ive grown up quite happily with little mony most of my life, but wait, does that make me a hypocrit for being forced to survive within the exepted society? i do have a family of my own to suport however, and trust me, being unemployed while trying to get into a career i do understand the full value of money but there is no need for it.

[Aliofdeath]

now listen, I'm not against killing animals, i agree sometimes it is necessary, but not for the pathetic reasons you are stating. animals don't know any better but we do, just like a small child but with even less knowledge of the world. there are other solutions. but oh well, people are apparently just too lazy, making money and not caring about anything else.

[Aliofdeath]

Killing something isn't a very intelligent way of solving a problem. with all the millions or billions that are made, preventions could be made. If a baby was eating all your food because it was hungry, or writing on the wall because it was bored or being intolerable should it be shot? after all its being a nuisance right?

[Aliofdeath]

Islam has got every right to exist, the same as Christianity or any other religion. Radical extremists do not have a true faith because there are blinded by hate. if they want to pick a fight then so be it, they don't get very far anyway. only in there own country were there terrain favours them. In my country especially we don't take any nonsense from them.

[purplej43]

like we are over run by bears..all hunting is testosterone fuelled...thats it simply in a nut shell xxx

[Aliofdeath]

And, "apparently" i hate humans. No, just ignorant fools who think they have the right to decide the fate of everything around them. YOU sound like YOU hate humans, with all your Islam nonsense, or is it just non-whites you disapprove of?

[Aliofdeath]

oops, I hit post.... blah blah blah... responsibility to take care of the entire planet and everything on it, living or non-living, everything is the same, no better or worse than another existence, in face humans are probably the worst of all, destroying the planet, id spend your stupid dollar on a bullet and probably shoot YOU penguinistas and the world would maby be a better place. I hope you get eaten.

[RankAndFileGuy]

The guy just presented what "tough love" means. I doubt it'll sharp her awareness about the hunters though.

[shemseven]

Yes, if only the bear had developed the kind of intelligence we have penguinistas. Since humans are self conscious and understand the workings of nature, we have a responsibility. The bear has no responsibiity.

[penguinistas]

You seem to be implying that humans have a responsibility to protect the bear and I could not disagree more. I have a responsibility to protect people, not a bear.

I care very little about bears, I care very much about people. I would, without hesitation, and without apology, kill a bear that I believed was a danger to humans.

I would not spend thousands of dollars to capture and move a bear. I would spend $1 for a bullet, kill the bear, and spend the thousands of dollars to help people.

[Aliofdeath]

Well, that's pretty stupid don't you think? No, obviously you don't. If you were close enough to a bear to get killed by it then oh well, too bad. That person should of known better don't you think? And it wouldn't be up to you to kill it, it would be up to the person being attacked, let me guess though, your American? killing things you don't understand. @shemseven, your absolutely right, 100%. Having a higher intelligence does give us a respincibility to take care of the entire planet

[penguinistas]

Stpr crying about American's and be a man. The UK is being taken over by bureaucrats and Islam

The "higher intelligence" argument is the usual, psychotic, environmentalist stance, sacrifice the evil humans to save Bambi and the whales. Pure rubbish.

It's wrong to treat humans as criminals, penalizing them for liking nature. You probably expect the bear to return the favor or appreciate your willingness to sacrifice a human (from a safe distance).

Save the humans, kill an environmentalist

[penguinistas]

And as you feel free to make sport of Americans, lets make sport of the Brits too.

Your letting yourselves be taken over by radical Islam. How are those Sharia Law courts doing in the UK? (nothing like beating one of your wives to take the edge off a tough day)?

Are your ambulance patients still being driven around in circles (for hours) waiting for a spot to open up in the morgue?

The UK will fall without a shot being fired (Churchill would weep).

[Aliofdeath]

Very good, you might want to look at your own country before you start pointing the racial downfall of your country finger. Listen, I'm not saying don't kill animals, but why kill them for no good reason, even if somebody's being attacked, if a bear comes for me, then I'd kill it. Put a bunch of people in the wild with a bear? that's just a retarded idea, obviously the bear might want to eat them, its a bear. Do you think I'm so ignorant that i don't know what a bear is?

[penguinistas]

when you say "racial downfall" I can only assume that you mean my reference to radical Islam. If wanting to stop people from killing you or converting you to Islam at gun point is "racial" then so be it.

I really don't know any hunter that wants to kill just for the "fun" of killing though it is a favorite 2 dimensional smear by PETA (when their not killing strays).

The hunters I know are planning to eat Bambie or trying to stop an animal from eating livestock or decimating their corn fields.

[Aliofdeath]

I really don't care, I didn't want to get into a big argument over this, I was just stating my opinion. But there are lots of hunters out there who hunt for fun, just for sport. I don't care about your friends or how they justify it. fair enough if your starving and need something to eat, that's the law of nature. but just because you want to or might loose out on a bit of money, what's the point. because you want to be able to pay for the internet and argue on youtube?

[penguinistas]

You have a right to an opinion but when you air your petty prejudices, maligning hunters (or Americans) with absurd, prejudicial, stereotypes of trigger happy gun nuts ready to shoot anything that moves then you'd better expect to get some flack from people who know better

In the US, deer completely destroy some crop fields, so take your head of of the sand, we're talking about damage in the millions, if not billions

Hunting is vital and necessary to protect crops and control deer populations

[Aliofdeath]

well boohoo, its just money, something i don't care too much about so don't try and give me that trip. I am aware that not all Americans are trigger happy fools, but there are certain ways of communicating that are intended to offend. there are better ways than killing to keep crops out of harms way I might add.

[penguinistas]

"its just money"

If it was your money, you'd be of another opinion.

"better ways than killing to keep crops out of harms way"

As deer leap over fences, and slowly learn to ignore lights and sirens, and as they continue breeding, and as uncontrolled populations of deer make available vegetation scarce (leading to starving deer), what "better way" might there be?

A bullet costs $1 but you get 80 pounds of venison and healthier deer populations.

How's your cost effectiveness compare to that?

[Aliofdeath]

yes, its just money, there's more to life than money. all it is is a form of control. no i wouldn't be of a different opinion, id build a fence so big that no deer could bound over it. If a deer population is out of control all that means is there getting in your way, i'm sure the deer don't see it that way, they'd say that our population is out of control. lets kill all the ants on the planet, there surely out of control? going into peoples houses and what not, being anti-social to the humans.

[penguinistas]

"yes, its just money"

"no i wouldn't be of a different opinion"

your still living at home, right? Parents still buy your food and pay the rent, right?

Last I heard, the average US corn farmer clears about $18,000 a year.

Considering that white tail deer can jump up to 15 feet high, you should calculate the cost of a 100+ acre fence and ask the question if a farmer making 18K a year can afford it.

Hypocrisy check: Are you willing to pay for the fence and the crop damage? (its just money)

[Aliofdeath]

once again, yes its just money. if there was no monay id build a 30 foot fence if i had to. no i wouldnt pay for it, and if it was that big an issue then governmants would set it all up if that was the conclusion to deal with the problem was.

[penguinistas]

I realize that you're just 19 years old but once again, your expecting someone else to pick up the tab for your hatred of the human race.

You want farmers clearing 18k a year to build a 15+ foot high fence around 100+ acre farms to keep Bambi from jumping over it to devour their corn. That's a lot of money and Bambi may go under the fence instead of over it anyway.

When your willing to pay out of your own pocket then you'll have credibility.... till then, you sound like a lot of hot air.

[Aliofdeath]

Well, that may be how you perceive it. My age has nothing to do with my perception of the world, only the amount of time i have had to observe it. I don't hate the human race, we're just flawed intensely. i wouldn't pay for it because i have no need to pay for it. i'd cut down the trees, mine the metal and dig if i had to. And you could always build down as well. Its not hot air, its an idea of how to solve a problem, not an empty command, i cant tell anyone what to do, its not my place.

[Aliofdeath]

I'm not expecting anyone to pick up anything for my benefit, if people don't value life in the same way i do then they have every right. but they should re-evaluate why they think one life is better than another. I'm not telling people to build fences or stand in a field every night to scare the animals away or even build a big fence but if i was it this farming situation then i know what i would do.

[penguinistas]

I value human life far above animal life.

Your age has plenty to do with "fair weather promises". Those fine sounding ideals sound real magnanimous, like handing out blank checks to orphans and pretty ladies. There pretty cheap till someone tries to cash one.

Try volunteering your services to do build one of those tall fences for even one farmer and then come back and tell me how it went.

I think that you'd run out of steam before a week was out (but perhaps you might be a bit more humble).

[penguinistas]

The hatred of environmentalists for humans seeps into their propaganda and legislation with tragic consequences

Environmentalists think humans are evil; dangerous; toxic; destructive

Environmentalists think Bambie's a victim of the arrogance of evil humans, Bambie's a part of nature (but we're not)

You'd mandate turning farms into fortresses and your blowing sunshine out your (very young) backside about how you'd climb the highest mountain and swim the deepest sea to save Bambi

Pure hogwash

[Aliofdeath]

well it just so happens that you have no idea what labours i have undertaken in my life. My age has nothing to do with it, i wouldn't go out of my way to save an animal by climbing over a mountain, if it was right in front of me yes., i'm not some peace loving hippy but i do have respect for all living things. I've told you that i'm not an environmentalist but it's pretty obvious that humans are the worst species on the planet. its state has only gotten worse since our advancement.

[penguinistas]

Being that your 19, I doubt that you've gone far enough to have a well seasoned opinion.

"it's pretty obvious that humans are the worst species on the planet"

If it talks like a (human hating) environmentalist then it's probably an environmentalist. Leading environmentalists want to kill the 6 billion "excess" humans

I feel compassion for mankind and would gladly serve up Bambi to give him food or protect his fields.

The earth is a gift from God to mankind (made in God's likeness).

[Aliofdeath]

well they might want to do that but i don't. If i sound like an environmentalist then that's fine. You just sound like somebody who doesn't know any better. God has got nothing to do with this. it is pretty obvious. In case you haven't noticed its being destroyed but greenhouse gases, raped of fossil fuels and its species being killed without cause. All by humans. Your 50, i just hope you will learn something before your lifetime is over.

[penguinistas]

You keep drinking the environmentalist kool-aid. Greenhouse gas is not pollution, it's carbon dioxide (CO2), hardly a toxic gas.

I hope that CO2 increases because the earth is wonderfully designed. If the amount of CO2 increases, then plant growth increases to match (food grows more easily, fewer starving people and animals).

Regarding the greenhouse effect, CO2 is nothing compared to how much water vapor (H2O) warms the earth. Will we ban water?

Apparently have not heard of "climate gate"

[Aliofdeath]

you cant deny that mass production chemical oozing factory's are destroying the climate. no we wont ban water, but if preventions are not made then we'll all be drowning in it. the climate will change so much that we wont be able to survive on a massive level. Would you like to breath in only carbon dioxide? as more CO2 gets pumped into the atmosphere the less trees can process it, that means less oxygenated air. and it doesn't help that trees are being cut down on massive levels ether.

[penguinistas]

You claims of trees or plants not being able to process additional CO2 is dead wrong. You apparently never studied biology as plants "eat" CO2.

One hyperbolic biosphere experiment increased the amount of atmospheric CO2 and ordinary tomato plants were producing several hundred pounds of large healthy tomatoes each.

A doubling of the levels of CO2 effectively doubled plant growth. You need to study science, not drink environmentalist kool-aid.

[Aliofdeath]

i was mearly saying that there will be too much for them to process and then we'd have to breath it all in. and thats just CO2, never mind the countless other harmfull chemicals destroying the ozone. Tomatoes, very good, if i ever want a giant tomato i'll know what to do, thank you. I dont drink Kool aid, i drink really juice. If the world doesn't pull its act together there will be too many chemicals and too few plants to give us the required amount of oxygen needed compared to chemical levels.

[penguinistas]

You apparently think that that CO2 is amongst "other harmful chemicals" and that tomatoes are the only plants that eat CO2. Do you really know so little about nature?

CO2 is plant food. If a massive amount of CO2 were somehow released, plant growth would accelerate (consuming CO2) till the atmospheric CO2 returned to it's natural equilibrium.

ozone depletion is environmentalist mythology useful for getting money and power.

Environmentalism has killed more than 100 million people.

[HenryDavidT]

@penguinistas Ozone depletion is environmentalist mythology? Boy, ain't those Swiss & Norgwegians just a whole bunch of dumb, dumb retards! I wonder why they haven't awarded the Nobel Prize to you! (Of course, truth is, you don't want it.) Yes, those ecoterrorists & their "environmentalism" have "killed more than 100 million people"! 'Cuz our local land-fills, aquifers, rivers, lakes, seas, and coastal oceans, across the world, are CLEANER today, than they have ever been!

[penguinistas]

For those of us who actually like the taste of meat (which would include the bear) these sentiments about "betraying" the bear sound pretty silly. That cute and cuddly bear would not hesitate to both kill and eat you if you were the most convenient snack available. The bear would not have a moments regret for "betraying" (and eating) you. You need to leave the ivory (or green) tower before it's too late.

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

Sorry about the dipshit that gave you a thumbs down for this very honest and true comment.

[penguinistas]

Your use of profanity makes you sound pretty Sophomoric. You should learn to concentrate on the substance of an issue.

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

You sound like you should probably gently dislodge your head from your own ass and come to terms with the fact that you're posting on a youtube comments board. Not exactly the kind of place where people come to 'concentrate on the substance of an issue'.

[penguinistas]

you seem to be over your head when it comes to discussing issues and questions intelligently.

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

Oh yeah, way over my head. Especially on an issue as intellectual as getting eaten by bears.

[bben95]

thats not true- the bear didn't attack them all that time

[champclay18]

No worse than a Wolf!

[Iamlemonow37]

putang ina mo gagu!

[mponkey69]

In order to stabilize our ecosystem for our own survival, we need to start eating one another.

[Dagvalda]

hahahaha, mate, shut up

[skiandhu12]

Get some! get some!! get some!!! ?

[allthismovie]

Shoot them all !!

[sweetiepillow]

Leave the bears alone savage people, how about hunting you bastard human, imagine the opposite, what is your feeling will be rutheless?

[maidmoira]

leave them alone

[maidmoira]

fucked up,you are idjit's

[strangeritual]

God love her

[JeffVortec]

In fact, why would someone say you cant hunt them???? Ever been to Canada or Alaska?

[Jaydubsy]

Nonsense if you ask me. a "Hunting Party" doesn't pack M16s and 4000 rounds of ammunition and kill everything we see move that's not on two legs... More than likely that "Hunting Party" would see that bear and film it just as they did, and if they saw it as trouble some they would do the exact same thing they just did... Shoot in it's general direction so the muzzle blast scares him off. There are black bear hunting seasons in many places, but no where in the world is there a Grizzly bear season

[JeffVortec]

Grizzly not per se...but plenty of brown bear seasons....which of course is the same exact bear as a grizzly

[eezpzee]

Hunters like to kill things, these packs of humans call themselves hunting parties.

[dreamsrequiem]

poor thing, but its for its own good. wish their was a hunting season to shot sick sadistic bastards who enjoy killing beautiful animals.

[penguinistas]

Being that I don't hate humans (as you apparently do), perhaps there should be a season where environmentalists are put in the woods with a hungry black bear not far behind. Black bears (poor thing) are known for stalking, killing and eating humans.

Yes, that's it, a season for the "beautiful animals" to enjoy killing and eating sick, sadistic, environmentalists (like Timothy Treadwell).

Save the children of Africa, kill an environmentalist.

[RCTPatriot75]

@dreamsrequiem

I'm a sadistic bastard, but then again I never kill what I don't plan on eating. I do share your disdain for people that kill for the sake of killing. I get two deer per season, I feed myself and my family with one and prepare the meat from the other and give it to shelters.

[giiwed]

@dreamsrequiem i wish there was a hunting season to shoot sick sadistic bastards who take animals and stick them on a crowded industrial slaughterhouse and pumped full of steroids and hormones to be raised to die so people can eat them who are too lazy to shoot their own wild, toxin free, free range animals

[hipocampelofantocame]

I don't shoot bears, but I get excited about a good shot

at a bear hunter.

[Kraluth]

If I were fishing, and heard that sentimental music start playing, I'd probably start running too.

[dondoleone]

Deliberatley scaring a bear. Deliberatley scaring a bear. sorry had to repeat that it just sounds so stupid! it's like number 31 of things to do if your feeling suicidal. Deliberatley scare a bear.....

[woulders]

read the message on the right.

[dondoleone]

i watched the clip and fully understood and agreed with what they were tring to do, i just found the title funny. Sorry, u boring twat.

[Mercedes2555]

Makes you wonder sometimes if the selfishness of people and their cameras does harm to our nature. Sure hope she is ok and does not get shot just for the kill...

[Jaydubsy]

Very few people would just "shoot for the kill" really. Only if that bear had eaten livestock or attacked someone. A poacher would take hide head and claws more than likely.

[penguinistas]

You are correct. Most hunters fall into one of the categories: (1) kill to eat, (2) to stop a predator from decimating their livestock, (3) to stop herbivores from ruining their fields of crops (4) to stop a dangerous animal that endangers people.

Many environmentalists seem to have gleaned their expert opinions of hunters by watching Bambi or the Fox and the Hound.
