The rise in extreme leftism, sympathizers, and public gentrification is making for some interesting (yet trivial) stories in semi-rural areas…

People really need to start realizing that animals (regardless of how cute) aren’t there for our entertainment, they’re dangerous, and we are their keeper’s now and we have a responsibility to control and protect both human and animal population! Obviously, human life and safety comes first and that is always the case…

This animal was wounded, sick, suffering, people were making a spectacle, and the people who euthanized the bear did the right thing IMO everyone should have cleared the area and let the situation be properly handled!

I have no idea why the woman who hit the bear and all the bystanders remained in the scene for so long and ALLOWED their children to watch the death of the bear, but that’s on them .

Here’s the link to CTV’s story on the NS bear who HAD to be put down

So, what else should be done? Who is going to set the bears broken bones? pay for the meds? Disinfect the bear? Shave the area around the wound? Who will provide the bear with housing, food, and do all of that safely and with insurance?

I feel for the family, the bear, and the DNR workers who are being accused of doing something “wrong”, when in reality they’re the ones doing the right and just thing and it’s just being horribly misconstrued by mainstream media and extremist leftist zealots…

Firstly, I don’t think the children should have been present for the Euthanization. The parents and/or guardians of the children recognized and knew what was taking place and should have removed their children from the area, shielded their eyes, or do like I or most native NB or rural parents would do EDUCATE your children.

I’m sure it wasn’t a deliberate act of malice and this is up to the parents and guardians to show and teach their children the difference between controlling nature, abusing nature, and violence in nature.

IMO – children should be taught about the difference between Man vs Nature and Man Coexisting with Nature.

We as human beings have a responsibility to nature… After all we have taken over their habitats, built roads where they travel, and we slaughter many animals for food and by accident.

We have a responsibility to ensure that wounded animals are either treated, adopted, harvested, or euthanized.

Especially here in NB, we are well known for our forestry, natural resources, and our nature conservation regulations are pretty strict when it comes to population control on wildlife.
We invest quite a good amount of money in this type of service, cleaning and disposal of roadkill, DNR, rescue shelters, etc.

This is a normal part of modern life in a semi-rural area. When you live in areas like this with a high concentration of black bears you’re bound to see this type of thing.

When I was a young boy my parents had to shoot a teenage bear that had lost its mom/family at a young age and was now haplessly wandering around our township of Blackville, NB… This bear learned some poor habits after losing its mother and survived off looting our neighborhood garbages and even raided a smoke house.
Eventually, things came to a head when my mother looked out the window into our gated front yard and the bear had climbed the fence and was playing with my older brother who was around 8 at the time (I was only a big toddler) but, I vaguely remember the event and there are photos from an old Polaroid camera with my brother wearing a 90s snowsuit, and the bear within 2 meters of him.

Once they coaxed my brother away from the bear and had a clean shot, my father took it… I’m not even sure if he had a license or anything. I do know that bear had been a menace for weeks, EVERYONE had their own personal story or close calls with it, and it wasn’t long before NOBODY thought it was “cute” or “funny” because it was becoming DANGEROUS!

People (especially children) need to be taught that these things do INFACT happen and sometimes killing is OKAY in nature! Especially here in New Brunswick, NFLD, and some rural areas in Nova Scotia… We have such big communities living so close to thick forest that animals get quite familiar and if something isn’t done and education is not provided, then you’re simply inviting disaster, you’re inviting the possibility of an accident, and you’re leaving your children at a disadvantage because you’re not properly showing them the REALITY of man and nature.

Needless to say, if children aren’t taught to respect these types of situations and aren’t educated on the difference between animal control and animal abuse/victimization; they’ll always view events like this as a violent or heinous act! instead if what it really is in reality… A mercy, the responsible, and the right thing to do.

We coexist with nature in a way that seems to disturb many…

I can see and at least understand why some people feel Euthanization is wrong and it’s noble to think “there’s always a way to save every animal”, I get it, but that’s not realistic!

Folks gotta realize that when you’re outside looking in, things aren’t always what they appear, that fuzzy/cuddly bear will literally eat your children, pets, and/ or spread some weird disease.

Be smart, be safe, be happy
