VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Police said Wednesday they were astonished to find at least 14 wild black bears guarding an illegal marijuana growing operation after a recent raid on the property in westernmost Canada.

Yes, let's all look to G.W. Bush for direction as to how we should think, live, and love...after all, he's offered nuggets of such perfect wisdom:

"There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, fool me once, shame on—shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again."—Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002

"I love the idea of a school in which people come to get educated and stay in the state in which they're educated."

"I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn't here."

"This foreign policy stuff is a little frustrating."—as quoted by the New York Daily News, April 23, 2002

"We've tripled the amount of money—I believe it's from $50 million up to $195 million available."—Lima, Peru, March 23, 2002

"It's very important for folks to understand that when there's more trade, there's more commerce."—Quebec City, Canada, April 21, 2001

....wow. Deep thinker, that guy.
 
What's the going pay rate for a guard bear these days? :D

VM might want to supplement his retirement with some outdoor work.

The going rate is very probably death:
Black bears are common throughout Canada, and except in the cases of mothers with cubs, usually live solitary lives in the wilderness. It is against provincial law to feed them.

By feeding them, said Dave Webster, a conservation officer with the provincial government who launched an investigation of the case on Wednesday, the marijuana growers delivered "a death sentence for the wild animals."

Webster told AFP "tame" bears are dangerous, because once they?re fed they commonly seek out other people, frequently destroy property, and in very rare cases attack or even kill people.

"If a bear is deemed to be a safety risk and is habituated to human food and not able to feed itself in the wild, it will be destroyed," he explained.

Police, citizens or conservation officers kill untold hundreds of so-called "nuisance" bears annually throughout Canada.

"It's killing animals by kindness," said Mansveld. "It's terrible, a real shame."
 
Guarding, Hell! Cousin Zeke was upset when the Canadians dug up his patch. They were growing the stuff.
 
See, that's what I figured. One big Bear Cartel. :cool:
A cartel, hardly! Bears operate in small independent families, as far as I know... but I'm sure any one bear knows another. like it's an instinct or something.

So, when's your next Pot Association of the West (PAW) guard duty? Now I know why you've been missing so many nights in the Naked room. And all that talk of wine and bourbon . . . just a ruse!

Serious question: Does THC affect bears the same way it does humans?

IOW, were the bears guarding the pot patch, or were they raiding it?

"My God!" she cried as she turned, aiming at the quail. She was about to fill me with birdshot when she realized my face was at the end of her shotgun barrel. "I almost shot you!"

"You probably would have," I responded, "if you had been as old and slow in reaction time as Dick Cheney," I said.

She laughed, but added, "Seriously, I might have hurt you."

"There must be something I could do to make up for such a frightful close call," she said as she slowly went to her knees in front of me, "I could at least beg your forgiveness."

She raised her hands upwards in supplication, and took hold of my belt buckle...

Not really an answer, but it seems unlikely:
Forage Value: No forage value for livestock. Quail, pheasants, songbirds, and small mammals eat the seeds.

Cannabis sativa L.
Annual
Height: 2-13 feet (usually 4-6 feet)
Family: Cannabaceae - Hemp Family
Flowering Period: July, August, September

Also Called: Indian hemp.
Stems: Erect, simple or branched, stiff, rough, angled, minutely pubescent.
Leaves: Lower opposite, upper mostly alternate, stalked, palmately compound; leaflets 5-11, linear-lanceolate to lanceolate, 1.5 to 6.5 inches long, .1 to .8 inch wide, center leaflet longest, outer leaflets progressively shorter; surfaces rough above, pubescent below; margins toothed; tips tapering to points.
Inflorescences: Panicle, narrow, staminate, terminal or clusters, small, spike-like, pistillate, in upper leaf axils.
Flowers: Small, greenish; petals absent; staminate and pistillate flowers on separate plants (dioecious); staminate flowers on stalks; sepals 5, lanceolate to ovate, less than 1/6 inch long; pistillate flowers sessile, partially enclosed by sepal-like bracts.
Fruits: Achene, nearly spherical, about 1/6 inch long, yellow to greenish-brown, 1-seeded; seeds oval, mottled brown.
Habitat: Waste areas, ditches, pastures, low ground along streams, and roadsides; shaded and exposed sites; moist, fertile soils.
Distribution: Throughout Kansas.
Origin: Marijuana is native to Asia and has been cultivated for more than 8,000 years. It was introduced into the Great Plains during the 1880s and is now naturalized.
Forage Value: No forage value for livestock. Quail, pheasants, songbirds, and small mammals eat the seeds.
Uses: Marijuana was formerly grown for hemp fiber which was used in the production of rope, nets, and paper.
Comments: Marijuana contains tetrahydrocannabinol, a chemical with narcotic properties. It has been declared a noxious weed in many states. The pollen of marijuana can cause allergy symptoms.
 
Forage, schmorage! It was a cash crop. Cousin Zeke and the guys decided I had a really good gig down here in SoCal and they were going to invest in real estate.
 
Seriously (probably the first and last time out of my mouth), should the crop growers also get charged with the murder of the bears since the bears have to be put down?

There's no guarantee that the bears will have to be put down. What most likely attracted them in the first place was the irrigation system. Once that's torn up and the dog food disappears, they'll grudgingly go back to their wild food. It's what happened in Yellowstone and other National Parks when the garbage dumps were closed and the trash cans were 'bear-proofed'. Only the most obnoxious camp raiders ever end up euthanized.

All except for my family. Great grandpa just got a job with the U.S. Forest Service and moved into the suburbs. We've been here ever since.

Did you get your cute nips from Gramps?
