Baddest man around.

[TheEpicOfTyler]

A man who was attacked by a black bear while walking his dogs survived only after crushing the creature's skull with a stick.

My friends and I have always discussed the possibility of taking on a bear with our bare hands and it now seems more possible than ever.

[Expugnare]

There are very few situations in which I am truly in awe of someone.

This is one of those precious moments.

[Mastergeo7]

He must be Chuck Norris then.

[Karmakin]

Nope.

Leroy Brown.

[Johan]

I still think it's LeRoy Brown. Baddest man in the whole damn town.

[diablopath]

That heartless scum.

Sadly, the bear was the mother of two young cubs - who had to be euthanised because it was believed they would not survive the cruel Canadian winter without her.

[OldeWolf]

Eh...Why did he keep hitting it on the head long after it's clear the bear is no longer a threat till it died?

[diablopath]

He was probably expecting it to go back to caster form, root him, then heal up.

Gotta take 'em down while they're stilled stunned and unable to move.

[KingGorilla]

Damn pet drew aggro.

[Inspector Fowler]

Do you people not watch horror/thriller/action movies? Seriously.

When the bad guy looks dead, keep on that bastard until you know he's dead! They always pop back up for more!

[VerseD]

Damn he beat a bear to death with a stick? Not quite as hardcore as punching a shark, but it's close.

[Esquilax1138]

I'm with you on this one, keep going till the head falls off, and even then watch out in case the headless corpse re-animates and comes at you some more.

Can't be too careful!

[OrangePulp]

Dude, it's a fucking bear, and it almost killed him. I wouldn't be taking any chances, either; bash that motherfucker till it's hamburger.

[Gwinny]

I think I'd make sure it was dead. Still, the poor cubs. Aw.

I have to assume the dogs had a hand in all this, as well. Several of my neighbors (I'm from Wisconsin, eh) take their dogs not only as useful hunting tools but as a measure against bears and the like. Not to impugn his obviously towering manliness, but I doubt he would have lived if he had been alone. The article doesn't say what happened to his pets. Maybe they were little yappy dogs and ran off, who knows.

[Spacetronaut]

Black bears aren't that big, I think a person could take one without a dog. People always forget that humans are pretty big animals.

[DeathtollWRX]

The thing is he still needed a stick.. Now if it were a Polar bear that would been interesting.

Instead of killing the cubs maybe they could have brought them to a Zoo?
dunno just seemed shitty. Maybe the mother was trying to protect them from t he dogs and the human.

[Xerxes]

Apparently not in Canadia. :rolleyes:

Unfortunately there's no shortage of bears in Zoos. Adult bears with cubs are killed all the time up north here, they almost never find a zoo to take the cubs.

[BLeeP]

I still like this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/3667399.stm) story more. That's some Outsiders shit right there. Pony Boy done punched a bear in the face.

[Jeffool]

Well, he's not The Godhand (http://www.cracked.com/article_16449_p2.html) (wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masutatsu_Oyama),) but that's definitely not bad.

[Squidbot]

Hard. Core.

[Norse]

Too bad. The world needs more bears, less people.

[Lutheran]

That is pretty bad...he is lucky he didn't come upon a bear that wasn't a small black bear. Certain bears can kill you with one swing of their paw.

[TheEpicOfTyler]

Too bad. The world needs more bears, less people.

It's debatable and I think that Bear vs. Man hand to hand combat should decide who stays and who goes. :D

[Schnoogs]

This is actually an OLD story in the MMA world. Fedor "I am god" Emelianenko was once caught on film executing on armbar on a bear.

I don't think you can just "take bears to the zoo". If they're too young, they won't develop right, and given how fiercely protective of their own cubs bears are, I doubt they are ever likely to adopt other cubs at all.

Zoos and other organizations already have programs in place for taking care of orphaned wildlife babies. I mean, look at the baby polar bear news that was all over the place earlier this year. There was no excuse in killing those two cubs.

I do agree that it's unfortunate news.
I'm not really informed on how various zoos deal with bringing in new animals, or other various wildlife refugee camps for that matter.

I wonder who's decision it actually was?
Or if they even tried to find another solution other than death?

We get dozens of orphaned bear cubs every year just in Alaska. There's no way to get them all into zoos. It's a bummer but that's the way it goes.

[Vandabo]

I love stories of people who keep their wits about them and get themselves out of situations like this.

I wonder what kind of dogs he had. I imagine they helped him out quite a bit. Its amazing watching what is normally the most gentle and non-aggressive pet turn into a killing machine when its owner is threatened (or it perceives that they are), it happened a couple times with an old dog of ours.

If only they could make some sort of habitat for them. :rolleyes:

[Sl1pstream]

Sadly, the bear was the mother of two young cubs - who had to be euthanised because it was believed they would not survive the cruel Canadian winter without her.

So what if he was hiking, saw some cubs and tried to, intentionally, get close to those cubs. The mother sees him getting too close and tries to defend her cubs. Dude kills mother bear and comes up with another story to make himself seem like a badass he really isn't.

If she has cubs, I seriously doubt that she's going to attack someone for no good reason.

[Wasson_]

Damn pet drew aggro.

That is a quality lul there, good sir. Quality lul.

[Spacetronaut]

It costs money to build and maintain habitats. Euthanasia is relatively cheap.

[TheEpicOfTyler]

I'm agreeing here. Isn't it common for bears to kill cubs that aren't their own?

[Xerxes]

Same could be said for people and prisons. Or abandoned children. It's always cheaper to kill stuff. :rolleyes:

Polar bears are on the fast road to extinction. Black bears not so much.
Still shitty and sad, but thats how things are.

Theres a big difference between baby robin's starving to death and say bald eagle chicks.
They're both sad situations, but ones going to get a lot of attention and the other isn't.

[Bad Buddha]

If she has cubs, I seriously doubt that she's going to attack someone for no good reason.

That is the major reason why they DO attack people.

If the guy shows up on the news later for beating a mother alligator to death, then we'll know he's in it for the celebrity. Otherwise; I'm going to say he's a damned lucky and ballsy dude!

Did you see the scars on his head? "Oh yeah! I'm going to take on this bear to show the world how baddass I am!" Right. :rolleyes:

[Spacetronaut]

Indeed it is. However, society has determined that humans are worth the expense and bears are not, not to the same degree anyway. Seems reasonable to me.

Not really. :(
I like bears more than humans. No really I do. Well bears haven't pissed me off as much so they kind of got people beat by keeping there face time low.

[Lutheran]

Its to bad for this particular bear that the Grizzly Man is no longer among us...
