Far scarier.

Right? Like who are these fools who are more concerned about bears attacking than men? How many bears have you seen on a hike? 1 or 2 in a year? Versus 1 or 2 creepy men per day? Do the math, Virginia.

I do fieldwork in the Canadian Arctic and Subarctic, where bears (black/brown/grizzly/polar, depending on where you are) are something you have to think about.

Same. I mean, I still do but only with my pepper spray within reach and my dog (who won’t be much help, but I feel much safer with her than alone). My dog is currently on holiday with my parents but I went on a little hike yesterday, by myself as usual and encountered a really creepy guy who kept staring at my boobs…

Fuck bears. I no longer hike because of the danger from men.

No, but I’m afraid that a bear will attack me in my own neighbourhood at any time. Lol.

Back when I did my bear safety training we were told that toothpaste could be an attractant. We used to lock up our toothpaste at night with the food, away from the tents at field school.

Another delightful nugget from bear safety…

Considering that he did not bring charges against the police officers who murdered Earl Murray and Ronald Beasley under similar circumstances in 2001, I think it is definitively more than just incompetence. But this incompetence should qualify for recourse.

Not until Jeff Sessions is forced to resign.

Surely this disgusting level of legal incompetence has some recourse right? And I don’t just mean a civil suit.
