My heart is broke...that stupid *** bear UPDATE!!!! Problem gone!

[thewarriorchild]

I just want to add, because I think some may have missed the update that the bear that killed my chickens was killed. There are pictures of the process where the other pictures were posted. I am going to try and get the report. Did I say that the same week the story on the cover of the town paper was that a Mom and two cubs had broken into someones home. They had no comment to the paper (I wonder why...wouldn't want the B.E.A.R. people after me) Theirs happened either the day of or within a day of my attack I believe... Thanks so much everyone who has shown concern, this is so much more traumitizing that I ever thought it could be.
Did I tell you the pigeon healed and is doing well?? I can not believe it did not need surgery. Pictures of it ripped open are posted where the other picture are also.
Thank you for all your thoughs and prayer. They have meant so much.

I am so sorry for you and your poor little girl. That is the one predator that always worries me...it is so hard to stop one of them because they are so strong and dstructive.

Spring has sprung & so our measures of protection will be tested. The wire I've running around the top of the fence I think so far has warded off the 1st *young bear* I think a left over from last years litter. Because it's on it's own I imagine another *litter* is on it's way & so 3 or 4 more cubs?? yikes... So far so good withthe electric jolt running aorund the back yark & hubby was to confirm that the other day as he accidently touched it.

Poor baby he's always willing to put it to the test using himself.. LOL

Thanks.. and yes we are still working on more and more reinforcements I have heard over on the other side of our woods there was one out. The daycare center VERY near us is SO irresponsible. They have their garbage all over and it has obviously been gotten into. It is even across the street and off into the woods. It has been laying there for a week or more...They have a dumpster but they do not keep it locked and they have garbage sitting outside it. GRRR!!!!!

I have to say I have never known such terror. We had nightmares for months and we still do once in a while. I am freaked to be outside. I am looking for a monitoring system, a vine rose bush with HUGE thorns, oh yea and a man with a gun!! Geesh! Oh and a new baby monitor so I can hear out there....

Nice to see you around Mom2cool I was thinking of you!

How did you fare through the winter?

Report that day care as that is life threatening, bears have and will kill.

Bear pelts are very thick so thorns don't bother them much, sorry. Try running an electric fence all around the property that might help ya. Sorry again that your bear activists are such a sorry lot that they put bears before humans.

Hi,
The Cherokee rose comes to my mind instantly as it would certainly fit your need as it is a climber, robust, and easy to grow and very, very, very thorny. It's pretty, too.

I started mine from a cutting and in one season it was formidable to say the least! (You can often find them up for auction on eBay this time of year and on into the fall.
Good luck!

How many bears have you seen from your window in kansas?

UUmmmm this maybe isnt the time or the place, but hunting is the most humane animal management system there is.

I know you can't, and I truly feel for you, but for those who are feeling bad for the bears, because we took their homes, they dont have enough food, etc. Every animal species has to live in BALANCE with its ecosystem.

What balances predators? STARVATION!!!! In a completely natural situation, when there is plenty of game, predators prosper. As they grow in numbers, they outgrow the food supply and they start dying off, reducing the numbers back to a manageble level, when they again have an abundance of food. It is a cycle, NOT caused by humans, that keeps them in balance.

Enter Hunters. The number of animals killed each year by hunters is regulated by the department of wildlife, or whoever, for your state. Regulated hunting takes the place of starvation, and allows the animals to die in a much easier way.

Thus, without hunting in your state, the animals are reverting to the natural cycle. As the hunger comes, the weakest animals are coming anywhere there is food to try and survive.

Also, when animals have no fear of humans they will naturally eat at the easiest diner in town, which is also inhumane. It stops 'survival of the fittest' and continues the reproduction of animals that are weak, and would naturally not have lived long enough to reproduce.

There is my rant for the day, to support the OP and give some edumacation to those who are on the fence about this. To help you see the reality of nature's brutality.

It's unnatural for humans to hunt predators. Predators don't hunt predators. Carnivores don't eat carnivores. I could never justify killing a bear for killing my chickens, ducks, geese, etc. There are far less of them then there are of us. Our place on this planet is secure, theirs is not.

Predators don't hunt predators

Sorry...they do. In nature they do it to eliminate the competition.

Lions kill cheetas and cheeta cubs. I even saw the aftermath of ferret vs cat.​
