Where are all the bears?

It's not that people are getting stupider.
It's that fewer stupid people are being
eaten by bears.

One place there used to be a lot of bears was the beaches of the West coast. A bear would stake out a stretch of beach and both fish for sea critters and/or eat damn near anything animal that drifted onto the beach.

The West coast Amerinds were, in general not too well equipped to hunt bear. The situation changed when the Spanish began to arrive. Instead of avoiding the bears, they began to hunt them for meat and also for safety reasons. The coast bears were easy to find, as they were fixed to a section of coast. Soon there were no more coast bears.

Many inland bears went the way of the coast bears. The problem is that bears are not afraid of much and will attack 'lesser creatures.' Man is not a lesser creature and bears are not smart enough to recognize this.

Where are the bears? Dead, by the hand of man.

There's only one dangerous animal, but most of the time you have to act as if he's as sweet and loving as a cobra.

I was tree planting in northern B.C. when i found myself in between a mother bear and her cub. When she noticed me she started running after me and not being completely stupid, I decided to run too.
Fortunately one of the other members of my crew was an old indian who had been doing it for years so as I ran by the tree he was hiding in I looked up into his wizened face, certain that he would give me some instruction on how to escape my predicament.
"Run buddy or you're a goner" was all he said.

Boy did I feel stupid that day.

Actually, man IS a "lesser creature", unless he's equipped with the ole equalizer.
