I swear that the last time I singled somebody out for being straight up idiotic around here it was dess as well. What in the sweet hell is wrong with you? For your own sake I sincerely hope you're just a thirteen year old kid that gets his kicks from saying ridiculously dumb things on message boards.

Why dont we just exterminate all bears?

Because that would be really hard. Think about all the logistical issues you'd run into.

First off, you'd have to find them all, which would be an absolute bitch all on its own.

Secondly, you gotta kill them all, which would involve lots of guns and dodging the veritable legions of animal rights activists that would no doubt get in the line of fire, and then you've got collateral damage so you have to come up with a really good excuse for mowing down 130 PETA members with an assault rifle.

And I mean a really good excuse. As in, it had better stand up in court or you're not going to get any bear execution volunteers. No volunteers means you have to pay people and thats a whole other can of worms.

Then you have to dispose of all the bodies. Bear corpses are heavy. And lots of them would necessitate the use of trucks. Many trucks. Now you gotta buy fuel. More money again. No one is going to volunteer for this costly expedition.

Dont forget, you have to bury all of those animal rights activists you massacred. Thats a hitch.

Anyways, to answer your question, theres just too many problems associated with it and we really just cant be bothered. Its much easier to just leave them alone. Really, they very rarely harm anyone.

Seconded.

I bet he goes once per year, in his RV, with a Satellite Dish and all that. Only bear he probably saw was a mascot in the parking lot at Six Flags or some BS.

You're wrong about not getting anyone to volunteer Locke!
Sign me up for the Bear Erradication Team.

Those big furry s have been mooching off us for too long.
Seriously, they walk around the woods all day long like the own the joint, and they sleep ALL WINTER!
There's no room in MY nature for an animal that lazy.
Kill 'em all I say.

Thanks for mentioning Otters.
They are also lazy. Not quite to the extent of bears, but untill they start to do something more productive than wrapping themsleves in seaweed, and eating clams, I say kill them all too.

Oh, and moose.....you better shape up pretty darn quick or your next!

Alright, BBS is in. Are we talking all Bears everywhere or just in Alberta? Because if its all of them, we'll need a couple thousand more volunteers.

All freeloading animals will have to stand up and be counted...and then subsequently shot.

BBS has put you on notice animals. Pull your weight or you'll be dead weight!

If people would learn anything about Bears there wouldn't be these issues.

It is the same as Pitbulls you name it. Always someone on a warpath of extinction.

Americans in Iraq, now we want to kill or seclude all of the bears in the world. Wow.

They use tools! That has to put them above bears, and thus gives them a reason to co exist with us.

Thanks WhiteTom, it nevers ceases to amaze, the speed at which some people can respond and put things like that up.

If you get rid of ALL the bears ya might need to look at, ummm, thining a few other species as well, like seals. Hmmm....I wonder which would get the most attention from activists, the bears or the seals.

Yes! My ignore list got it's first member. The state of western civilization is degrading and fast. I got once bit by my buddys dog, and that could have given me rabies and i could have died so i say that we should just kill all dogs. And cats aswell, just to be sure. Also cows and pigas just because the colesterole is killing me. Also barley since i am drinking myself to death.

These are the times when i think that Mr. Pentti isn't so far off.

You mean Herr Ruxpin das Bear Fuhrer? An assasination attempt has already been made.

Unfortunately, we didnt know that he had a blimp and shenanigans was called.

We should not eliminate all bears. To do so, we would need to implement some type of "Bear Patrol". If the Simpsons have taught us anything it's that "Bear Patrols" lead to the lowest tax increase in history and make a very unhappy populace.

(Can anyone find a clip of that episode? I couldn't on Youtube, but feel that it truly belongs on this thread.)
