Grizzly 399 Vigil

Anthropomorphism. These sad people have associated human characteristics to a wild animal. Very bizarre for grown human beings.

Boy are we a spoiled society. Being to do a vigil for a damn apox predator is beyond amazing. But than again, they'll vote democratic, so I guess they have full brain rot.

You are correct. I waste no opportunity to tell my kids how lucky they are to have the privileges we do.

I make a good living on anthropomorphism. But not with wildlife

If that had happened up here, the person who hit the bear probably would have punched their grizzly tag.... different world north of sixty.

What steaming pile of hot garbage. More heart string tugging anti biology BS from a bunch of people so out of touch with reality and the situation. The best thing they could do is leave the bears alone and stop developing their habitat for their self serving playground. The sheer lunacy of that whole thing is baffling to me.

I have a dog. If he died, I'd be sad.
My boss has alpacas. Everyday for the last 2 year, my dog and I have passed by them while we do routine facility checks. If one of them died, I'd be sad.
There's a goose that nests in a tree behind the pond next to my office. Last year her nest failed, her mate left her, and she eventually abandoned the 7 eggs. It was sad.
I don't really know much about this grizzly bear 399, but I'd bet there are some people who have kept tabs on it, followed its movements, watched for sightings, awaited for it's emergence from it's den, waited to see how big it would get in the fall, etc. for a long time, maybe even years, and suddenly it gets hit by a car. Sounds kinda sad to me.
I wouldn't go so far as to say it merits a vigil, cremation, and scattering of ashes, but it makes sense that the people who cared about it would be sad. It's more weird to me that a bunch of grown men who didn't care, upon learning about this bear dying, now suddenly care so much about how others feel about 399 that they're whining about it on the internet.
