Bears Are
Creatures of the Land
That Should Be
Protected from Harm
Bears have
always been a source of intrigue to the average
person. Adult grizzly bears are generally huge
and dangerous. And often there are “darling
little baby bears” with the adults. Humans are
strangely attracted to them, forgetting the
potentially disastrous results of getting too
close to them.
The national
shame is that too many people who are armed when
they are in an area where they may encounter a
grizzly end up using a firearm. The result is
that many grizzlies are shot and killed by
humans each year, something that isn’t right.
It just should not happen.
Of course it
is preferable to a human’s death or maiming, but
it should never get to that point. For one
thing, people should be wary of getting too
close to bears once they spot them. Most do
avoid them, out of understandable fear.
There are
alternatives to shooting a bear if it is
menacing you. And they are recommended by The
Sierra Club, the foremost guardian of animal
rights in the wild. The Club has recommended
that the Forest Service require everyone who
enters a national park in grizzly bear country
to carry bear spray.
That’s right
– bear spray! There is a spray for bears,
similar to the kinds of defensive sprays there
are for people to use on predators or people who
attack you on the street. And it is effective
and does not cause any permanent damage to the
bear.
There is a
site that offers two kinds of bear sprays. One
of the choices is Guard Alaska, an ultra hot
pepper spray that is so effective repelling
bears that it is the only one registered with
the EPA as a repellent for
all species
of bear. And of course it is environmentally
safe. The formula for the spray is endorsed by
the Alaska Science and Technology Foundation.
The second
spray is the Pepper Mace Bear Spray. It is a
powerful Magnum Fogger and it sprays up to 30
feet. It is also safe and humane.
Let’s show
proper respect for our friends of the outdoors –
the grizzly bear – by admiring them and
protecting them from permanent harm. If you are
going someplace where the grizzly may live and
want to be sure you and your family are
protected, take along a bear spray. It will
make you feel good that you will not be in any
danger from the grizzly and that, if the worse
happens and one attacks, you can save yourself
and not cause permanent harm to one of the
wonders of the world.
