dufc1980 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 That's when they call Bear Patrol and they come and tranquilize the bear and relocate it back into the wilderness.Eventually they learn where their area is and stick to it.It COULD work, but you're right it would take far more effort than people would be willing to give such a plan, sadly.Would be cool as f**k to have brown bears here again though, could adopt it as our national animal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dufc1980 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Your just jealous that they have the right to bear arms I would too if I moved to a country that wasn't a borderline police state (guns are the tip of the iceberg for the UK really). Which I will as soon as is possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladdin Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Bring them all back. All the wealthy landowners whose estates are currently only accessible to the privileged should be made to host them and can get a cut of the profits from wild Scottish safaris. The odd bear rampaging around towns can only be good IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 For bears and wolves ever to be a viable option on this a large number of hunting estates would need to be nationalised and allowed to return to their natural state. I doubt there will ever be a government that will see that as a high enough priority to spend the money and take the flak required to make it happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dufc1980 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) And it begs another question, how much do these estates actually contribute to the economy. And in addition how much are they going to contribute to it in the future?I think it would be a good laugh to stumble upon a bear during a night out, take a few selfies with it.Laugh as it mauled that asshole friend nobody really likes.Those Russian videos on YT of people meeting bears in cities are always pretty entertaining.

dufc1980 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Would really keep the city streets clear of drunken yobs and asshole youth gangs, come to think of it.Not at first, but certainly after a few scares. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Ironic though we should completely ignore the elephant in the room when talking about overpopulation here. Have they been introduced as well? Obviously just as household pets, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until they - dig up your garden drag wheelie bins down the street damage your car because you left half a sandwich on the back seat scare children casually lick or chew on a drunk sleeping on a wall/bench open your kitchen door and steal from your fridge chase late night revelers scrap with dogs get trapped in skips, lorries, shops and garages beg for food from tourists Wait a minute....this looks already too familiar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavin_3110 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Humans are apex predators. We're above bears. I assure you that I am in no way above a bear.

CityDave Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Saw this once on tv maybe Ray Mears but bears hate the sound of two rocks being smacked together, maybe try this out if I want to get to the bar when there's too many Rangers fans in my favoured pub. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you choose to purposefully handicap one of your greatest advantages over the bear though then of course, the odds are going to swing against you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
