It takes years of meditation and prayer to get to the stage where you can pet a goose in safety (this is Trizin Hof of the Gooseparadise in the Netherlands, he set up a wildlife sanctuary and Buddhist temple)
This is the goose paradise (there are currently 0 bears in the Netherlands, only in Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Romania and some other Central European countries)
@hugo @MicheleV_AK Here's what to do, if you are actually attacked by a bear:
If it's brown, get down.
If it's black, fight back.
If it's white, good night.
@MicheleV_AK @hugo In which case at least a brown bear would leave you alone allowing for an open coffin. ๐
The black one would play with your body and tear it into pieces, while the white one would just eat you, I believe. ๐ป๐ปโโ๏ธ
Tom Scott on YouTube has some very good videos on keeping bears wild. These two videos tell the story.
And this is the place where Tom (and a bear) made some video.
At the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone, Montana, you can get a product certified as bear-resistant... by actual bears. โ The Center: http...
Wildlife workers searching for a grizzly bear that killed a woman along a forest trail near Yellowstone National Park are setting bear traps for a third night in hopes of catching the bruin. Officials on Monday identified 48-year-old Amie Adamson, 48, of Derby, Kansas, as the victim of Saturdayโs attack along the Montana-Idaho border. They say Adamson was hiking or running alone when she was fatally mauled. Rangers issued an emergency closure for areas of the Custer Gallatin National Forest. The closure did not include Yellowstone National Park. Since 2010, grizzlies in the Yellowstone region have killed at least nine people, but attacks remain rare.
@MicheleV_AK @hananc Hope NOT to read that headline. Please keep posting photos โ lucky for you and for us.

@MicheleV_AK Great poster!
I live in London, and was lucky enough to visit Juneau on business a few times several years ago.
On one visit, I had a day off and visited Mendenhall Glacier. (It was sunny and didn't rain, highly unusual!)
A black bear family was busy stuffing themselves silly with salmon, right next to the visitor boardwalks - it was an incredible experience.
I miss Juneau; the ravens, the eagles and the bears are wonderful!
@MicheleV_AK
My business then was to do with cruise ships, so winter in Juneau wasn't an option! I agree, it's a beautiful place, although a long trip from London.
Was it frozen cold when you were there, or just wet and slushy?
@MicheleV_AK I would say go back before or after the cruise ship season. It'll probably be raining anyway, but it's still lovely.
If you get chance, pop into the Hotel Baranoff bar and ask if they have got some more CD's - last time I was there all they had was Back to Black (great), Alright, Still (great) and Back to Bedlam (ahahahaha) and the staff were moaning about Brit music to a Brit.. :D
I just realised how loooong ago it was!
