Haha oh such sentiment. =P

should I shave first

Well I have given a puppy CPR but a bear is a bit of a stretch!!

no I would not. why? because I really do love animals and believe in minimal intervention in their habitats & welfare. I have a conservationist's love for animals in that I believe that they are happiest in their own habitats therefore I would only keeps pets when they can be kept outdoors, and I would only keep domestic animals.

I think zoos serve a purpose but that most need to be more careful as far as monitoring their grounds to limit behavior from visitors that disturbs the animals. Most large zoos now provide good to excellent habitats, and a valid role in endangered species conservation which is great. Why? Because even though a minimalist (or corporate czar) will argue that species naturally evolve to extinction, so protections are misguided. The fact is that human disturbance of natural habitat accelerates the pace of extinction far greater than what we could possibly measure. Therefore the loss in species do not occur naturally. We are doing it and must make amends, and not enough is done to adequately protect the earth. So the roles the zoos play in this effort is wonderful.

Yes, I truly love animals because I want for their happiness and protection. I do not believe they are here to provide me with pleasures of ownership to use as I wish for my own gratification. I believe that they are here with equal rights to exist on the planet in their native habitats as their God given right that we do not have the right to take away without proper mediation and amends. Even if u take God out of the equation, I still maintain my belief based on the balance of nature vital to the survival of the earth. It calls for the survival of all species in balance in our interdependent system of biodiversity that is so complex that even the brightest biologists make new discoveries all the time. We are arrogant to think that we can cause mass habitat destruction, and really have a clue as to the long term impact on that in order to justify it.

Any animal that lives with me has the ability to come & go as it pleases. If I live in an area where that can't happen I prolly would then not own a pet. I seldom bring pets indoors, and have never owned an "all" indoor animal. Yes, I really do love animals.

yes, it's a bit of a rant....oh well

Yes i love Animals

they just can't live in the house

but the Grizzly would make a nice rug

I love animals, they are great with BBQ sauce. So, I'd have to say no to "CPR" and yes to charcoal!

I'd be happy to have a a guest for lizard ribs

Mmmm... Lizard, though I prefer the tails.

I was raised on a farm and we did all we could to save our animals, then again if we didn't try it was money out the window. Not sure what a bear would be good for other than a replacement guard dog. I think I'd call the DNR depending on where you are.

I'm on a waiting list for an assistance dog, does that count as far as being an animal lover?

IDK - the tails are a little chewy

Amen, sista :-)

I've seen these amazing creatures in real life in Glacier Park Montana... majestic as they are, they scare the shiit out of me!!!!

damn hunters

Hunting to survive..eat, clothe..I'm ok with. Killing anything for a rug, coat, hat...Um no

I would wait for it to pass out then hump it while it was still warm and squishy.

Hey, you have your version of animal lover....I have mine.

krupa, even your giant schlong would just get lost in there...you'd have to hump an eye socket or an ear and even that would be LARGE!

I can hear the jokes changing as we speak:
"Does a bear go in the woods?"
It does if krupa is in there too.."

Alright, I'm kinda getting a visual that I really could live without...

.....Jealous......hehehehehe

Don't worry Lid. When I am done cornholeing this bear, you're next.

The rest of you birds take a number and form a line.
