That is why we have the second amendment. The right to arm bears!

BubbaRay says:

Tourons, indeed! Gee whiz, I’ve had the bejesus clawed out of me by a housecat jumping from the floor and I want to get close to a large wild animal?? I’ll pass.

AlanB says:

I believe it’s spelled “tourans”.

bobbo, keeping standard word order says:

Shouldn’t it be Morist?

Rather vapid observation though. We all try to get as close as we think it is safe and the ability to judge relative risk is not within human comprehension. I’ve been attacked by sharks twice so now I won’t swim in or near the ocean at all, yet I see other people do it all the time. Swimming the Hudson River is now a thing to do. Yet, I’ll go back packing into the Sierra’s were its not remarkable to have a bear walk thru the campsite and that doesn’t bother me. Give me two bear attacks and I’ll give that up too. Same with playing pool on the wrong side of town.

We are all silly hoomans.

What’s with the upside down fish?

The unasked question:

How many ambulance-chasing lawyers have contacted them already? and how many millions do they plan to sue for?

As Yakov Smirnoff says: What a country!

deowll says:

Okay it was on the animal’s head and when it tossed its head it accidentally hit itself with it.

The object looked to be about the size of a hunk of stove wood.

The city slickers didn’t do anything to it other than being closer than I’d prefer to get to a bull I don’t know without a barrier of some kind.

I’ve seen a bull kill a man before. Thing is the bull didn’t even attack him. I think the guy landed on one huge blunt horn on the far side and it sort of rolled its head and I saw the guy six feet in the air before he fell to ground and got up and ran to the fence. He died of internal bleeding. The bull just ambled out of the arena.

The official verdict was the bull stepped on him but that doesn’t explain how I saw him above the bull’s back looking like a rag doll for an instant.

Other than throwing him off that big bull didn’t pay that man much more attention than a fly but he killed him anyway. They are God awful powerful.

McCullough–so how close will you get to:

1. Chipmunk
2. Bambi
3. Bison
4. Wolf
5. Bear
6. That Chick two cabins down with the Harley Tramp Stamp?

Glenn E. says:

This is simply “natural selection” at work, in human society. Idiots with enough spare money to burn, to go on such vacations. While the rest of us are struggling to keep our jobs (or are looking for one). It’s the foolish extravagant ones that get picked off by their careless, adventurous behavior. Too bored by the lack of challenges in their lives. That they take such risks. Daring something to happen.

And nature manages to get away with doing the dirty work. That some of us may wish we could get away with doing. Basically this comes under the heading of “give them enough rope, and they’ll hang themselves”.

Rob Leather says:

Think that’s bad. There’s even some confusion if it’s a buffalo or a bison.

My thoughts… it’s 1/2 tonne of angry bovine…. does it matter!?!
