This happened Sunday morning at the Quality Inn Creekside hotel in downtown Gatlinburg. Owner Raj Patel said he was made aware of the incident when he saw pictures of a woman extending her hand just inches away from a bear’s mouth.

If morons want to risk life and limb to pet the 'teddy bear' let them. Just another chance for Darwin to thin the herd.

ReplyDeleteSelf-correcting problem...
That happens up here with grizzlies Especially in Denali/Mt McKinley Park. So much so that a local cartoonist did a one panel cartoon, “Alaska, step off the bus and into the food chain”.

City people used to go to the dump in my home town and feed them marshmellows. Let their kids feed them too. I reckon they thought they were at an open air zoo.
ReplyDeleteWanna bet if one of them city assholes got nipped, the entire law firm of Rubinowitz, Rubinowitz and Silverstein would be camped in the motel's front lobby before the EMTs arrived.
ReplyDeleteAnytime a californian gets sued and the tennessee bears win is a good thing!
DeleteThere must be a pretty good bear population in Gatlinburg. I saw a video yesterday of a bear breaking into a car there and taking what looked like a paper bag of fast food out of it, to go.
ReplyDeleteGreat Smokey Mountain Nat'l Park has one of the highest concentration of bears in the country; about 2 per square mile. It's right next door.

am i bad for wishing it had dragged her off into the woods?
ReplyDeleteNo. But why drag her when it could just kill her stupid ass on the spot.
DeleteSounds like Yellowstone on a slow day for the Bison run. I would love to see one of these clowns try that with a Grizzly Bear. Too bad they can't euthanize the human for being stupid.
ReplyDeleteGatlinburg is the epicenter of stupid tourist activity. I live one county next door and we call them "Turons" for a reason.

Suicide by Nature. How many times have you seen some old hippy roam off into the wilderness to die? This time, the wilderness roamed to them.
ReplyDeleteEnough stupid activity happens in Yellowstone NP that FB has a group titled, "Idiots of Yellowstone." My wife tells me about stuff occasionally. I'm still waiting for someone to top the time I saw a parent trying to put their toddler on top of a bison for a picture.
ReplyDeleteThree woke guys walk into a building. You would think one of them would have seen it.
ReplyDeleteNear Christmas time in Thailand in 1970 we dressed a guy up in a Santa suit and a farmer was going to let us put him on a water buffalo and take a picture that we were going to make Christmas cards with. Water buffalo are usually very timid like cows unless they know you and would run away if you got near them. However, when this one saw the guy in a Santa suit approaching it went nuts and started chafing him around the field. If only we had phones with cameras in those days!
ReplyDeleteI can't post the picture here, but as the meme says: "I'm not saying we should kill all the stupid people, just that we should remove all the warning labels and let the problem sort itself out".
ReplyDeleteNext, send them down to Florida to pet the alligators.
