Hello mr bear – will you be my friend?

This headline made me go ‘WOO! this is what i have to look forward to’:

Aussie tourist attacked by bear at ski resort

Sadly its only media hyperbole…..damn!

The bear wandered into Whistler’s Village Square, a popular site for tourists and locals, to look for food in garbage tins on Saturday.

“A crowd had gathered around the bear and was taking pictures,” Sylvia Dolson, of the Get Bear Smart Society, told Vancouver’s The Province newspaper.

“The fellow was in the way when the bear wanted to escape.

“He kind of got snagged.”

They actually killed the bear in question. Ummm…..riiiiiight.

I’d just like to say to Canada if I get scratched up by a bear because I am a dumb arse please dont kill mr bear. kthxbai!
