Grizzly catches sheep

Home video of a Grizzly chasing down and catching a sheep.
It's a bit choppy, but you get the idea.
Just goes to show you how fast these S.O.B's are.

Bloody Hell! and they say Australia is a dangerous place to visit! If one of those suckers wants to eat you and you havent got a firearm I guess you are screwed?

[LukaTisus]

LOL There's always the play-dead trick, but that only really works for something like a Sow with cubs. She'll leave you alone once she thinks you're "dead" and no longer a threat to her offspring.

If it intends to eat you and you don't have protection, yeah.. you're pretty much screwed unless you can summon the power of Hercules lol

I always feel bad for wild animals that are shot for killing livestock. They are only doing what comes natural to them. If farmers don't want their animals eaten then they shouldn't raise them where there are big predators like bear and wolves. They didn't ask to have their land invaded by us. The old lady should think she's fortunate to only lose 1 sheep. Build a fence so the others won't get out and be eaten!!

[LukaTisus]

A fence doesn't stop a grizz.. but I do agree with you.. I hate that animals that run on instinct like this are put to death.

We all seem to think we're the top of the foodchain, but when it gets right down to it, humans are somewhere in the middle. We're prey, whether we like to think of it or not, so instead of killing things that are a "danger to humans", we should learn to respect them and not tread to carelessly into their territory.

@LukaTisus sorry but we are the top of the food chain. i completely agree with it being wrong that these animals are often shot for doing what comes natural to them. but to say we are not the top of the food chain is incorrect. just because we are not as strong or fast as grizzlies or wolves does not mean we are not over them. if we werent top of food chain, then how come we are able to make top predators vanish from land they dominated before we got there

[LukaTisus]

@pudgeS18 'Cuz we cheat and use long-distance weapons. If it were down to hand-to-bearpaw combat, sorry. But you'd be screwed.

[humbertoramos]

that farmers gonna be pissed.

[TheFlowin313]

Pretty terrible to think that there is a good chance this bear will get taken out. With domesticated animals, an apex predator usually realizes that they are an easy kill and will return to areas where domesticated animals are prevalent. If farmers have repeated problems in an area with bears/wolves/whatever, Fish and Wildlife comes in, and it's either relocation or lights out predator.

@LukaTisus its not cheating humans are only using what was given to them. bears have claws, fangs, and powerful limbs. humans have big brains that enabled us to create tools and weapons. Brain>Brawn

@EdGringo78 hey buddy there was a fence all along the back of the video

[kenitovokey]

@anthony9thompson hahahaha true! but at least the dangers are obvious. (dont jump off cliff, dont go on a mountain in winter if you dont know about avalanche safety, dont fuck with bears, drive slow in the snow. hahahah heck even our venomous snakes warn us with a informative rattle.) in Austrailia(beautifull country by the way) almost everthing is on the top ten venomous creatures list.

@DrShakalu619 european tourists mainly

[DrShakalu619]

@anthony9thompson who says that?

[Dunn0999]

Electric fence would make it think twice bout entering the land

[Dylan0008]

@LukaTisus its not really cheating if a bear was as smart as us they would use wepons too

[EdGringo78]

@semtech30 Who said anything about predators ruling our country?? That was one of the most idiotic statements I've ever heard. These farmer have absolutely NO reason to bitch when their livestock are eaten by bears or wolves because they refuse to keep them in fenced areas. It's called natural selection and it's happened since time began. Read a book sometime and you'll know that too.

[semtech30]

@EdGringo78 Listen to your thoughts here.

You'd just as soon have these predators in Government.

You make them sound as if they should rule us.

Get down on all fours then.

Ya won't beat'em, join'em.
