Bears, too. They tranquilize them, haul them back into the mountains after collaring them. Currently they've just discovered a mtn lion in a small area compared to the size range they need and are wondering how he got past the fwys, etc. obstacle course.

I bought something some time back about nature with a series around the world and was horrified that the main films seemed to be about one animal killing another. I wonder if it's actually intended to desensitize us. We as humans shouldn't relish watching what one creature can do to another-- should we?Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-49237769684621706802012-08-14T08:05:46.542-07:002012-08-14T08:05:46.542-07:00Nature is geared to the survival of the fittest an...Nature is geared to the survival of the fittest and must have both predators and prey. <br /><br />I am squeamish and don't like to see it happening though.
