  • Ever get that sinking feeling?
Stunning it? Rendering it unconscious? Killing it outright? Not sure but it's obvious the wolves have it, the big buff made it quick and relatively painless rather than it be torn apart fully aware. I do tend to give animals more credit for having a higher intelligence than most people would think. Actually, I give animals credit for having a higher intelligence than most people these days.  :lol:

Present company excluded of course. Well, except for Fistful.  ;)

The wolves just need to be taught that the two-legged naked bears aren't safe to play with  ;)

Depends on the two-legged naked bear.....  ;)

Some people don't tread well in bear country  ;/
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Actually, it's more likely the big buffalo was aiming for the wolves and either missed or didn't know the other bison was there. Big herbivores like that are often nearsighted and can't see worth a damn.

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves. - William Pitt the Younger
