Once again nature proves she's a killer who must be stopped.

Wolves, bears, lions etc. etc. If we don't kill them they'll kill us. I never thought I'd say this, but we need to look to Russia for leadership in this deadly struggle.

It's the price we and the bears pay for living in each others' habitat.
Interesting that you see this as a mortal struggle considering we're the ones with all the power. It's like saying you're in a death match with a little baby over a corner of the livingroom. The reason you just don't throw the baby across the room is b/c you know the baby has a right to be in the corner of the room as well. Plus, many people are capable of showing restraint when in positions of absolute power. It's an admirable characteristic. You, on the other hand, have the reactionary nature of a Philistine.

If you'd like to huddle around the fire at night waiting for murderous bands of bears to kill and eat you be my guest. I'm taking the fight to them.

Its Bear Caliphate has been tyranny, pure tyranny.

You mock, but the article I posted proves that the primordial struggle between man and nature for our very survival is not over. Not by a long shot.

I mock your use of the plural pronoun, "our," as if humanity is still in a death match with bears and wolves. We won that battle long ago. The only death match with nature we're in now, that is humanity and not a few isolated humans in Kamkatchka (which I always owned in Risk, by the way), is the one of our own making.
