  • Black Bear Behavioral Variability within Distinct Population Groups.
          Black bears exhibit varied behaviors depending on where the bear lives. Does this mean that bears are affected by social and environmental differences within a given bear population group and locality or region? Of course, all higher thinking animals, including man, are affected by social and environmental conditions and enrichments. We will visit four distinct bear population groups to see ... read more

  • A friends observation of bears
    Bryan wrote: "I read the story, Mingo Bears will bite? who knew? I personally have never hand fed a bear, but I would definitely expect it to bite the shit out me if I did try. Why do these people insist on messing with these creatures? ( I don't mean you, I know your not right, ha. and I know you have more in common with the bear species than you do with the human species). BEARS BITE!!!! it's no ... read more

  • Little help here if possible
                                                   A couple stories that I have heard I would like to clarify and have some 1st hand information if that is possible. The reason that I want to have more data about this is that I believe that this is a serious story and a story that needs to be heard.      In the past months I have talked with people that told me about an incident, possible mu ... read more

  • 18 DEAD BEARS.
    Wow, what an interesting news day, 18 bears killed near Christina Lake in British Columbia. Maybe more coming, who knows! Near this little town tucked away in the Canadian wilderness is a nut case named Allen Piche, self proclaimed ‘aging hippie’. Mr. Hippie, oh I mean Piche just happens to be growing the evil weed in the forest area with bears acting as guards, according to RCMP. Now, growing wee ... read more

  • Trapping - Shocking Cruelty and Brutality
    “Excruciating pain.  Lost limbs.  Even death.  These are the results of trapping. . .not only for the wild animals whose furs are stripped from their bodies, but also for family dogs and cats and even endangered species who are ‘incidentally’ caught in the remorseless jaws of leghold traps, Conibear traps, or snares (cable nooses).”  - Born Free USA As I researched trapping, I found out that the ... read more

  • What Does BLM Really Stand For?
    In reality, the letters are for Bureau of Land Management; however, based upon what I’ve learned, I think “brutality, lies and murder” might be more fitting. Over forty years ago, the Wild Horse and Burro Act was signed into law, in response to the wishes of the American people (and over objections by the cattle industry).  The law mandated that wild horses be preserved on public lands. Fort ... read more

  • Open Letter to "Family-Owned" Dairy Farms Who Purport to Have "Happy Cows"
    Dear (insert name of applicable dairy farm here): I question how you can claim that your product (yogurt, milk, cheese, etc.) comes from “happy cows.”  How do you know this?  How can you tell that your cows are happy and can you prove this to me? How can any cow be happy when in order to keep producing milk, she must be continually impregnated?  How happy can a cow be when she is routinely m ... read more

  • Cage-Free, Free-Range & Organic -- Don't Be Misled
    Growing public concerns about cruel treatment of animals on factory farms has some food sellers labeling products to indicate that farm animals are being humanely treated.  These claims can be misleading and may not be in accordance with what consumers assume. While some animals might suffer less than others, they still suffer at some point.  The “free-roaming” and “humanely treated” labels pro ... read more
