Only one person comes to mind.
I hope that one day I may be as almighty and smart as you.

From my lips to the ears of God, may your prayer be answered.I hope that one day I may be as almighty and smart as you.
I didn't know there was a big market for bear meat.
I would be in favor of giving the bears the same high-powered hunting rifles the hunters use. It would even the playing field, don't you think?
Bear roast is excellant. We did one on a Weber grill during the last strike along with grouse, venison and walleye. Ummmmmm-delicious.
I've never grilled bear but I enjoy grilling bare.
The one simple thing that PETA followers don't understand is this....Animals and Humans are NOT equals! We are the top of the food chain and as such we dictate how other living things on this earth exist. There will be no leveling of the playing field. If bears want to level the field, let them develop a brain smart enough to find a way to defeat us. Most PETA followers are young liberal tree hugging urban hippies that probably don't know the first thing about these animals or how they live. "Oh, don't hurt the defenseless little bunny!" Let me tell you (and I've never hunted or shot a gun in my life), if I was starving and my family needed food to eat, I'd trap that bunny, grab it by it's legs and beat it's precious little head in so I could provide food for the ones I care for.
As the old jingle said,I'm a PETA follower, and I'm not an urban tree-hugger, and I hate hippies (they need haircuts). I don't agree with everything that PETA says and does. I am on their email list and some of the stuff they send out is absolutely nuts, I'll admit. I love me a juicy steak every so often, and just this weekend, I killed a nest of baby rattlers in my yard with a spade. Not neccessarily PETA material, I know.
All the same, I love animals. They are not equal to us, and as the Bible states, we have stewardship over them, but that does not mean we can make them suffer needlessly. Yes, we use them for food. I buy my produce from local farmers, so that I know the cow I am eating is the same one I saw grazing last week, not some worn out heffer that spent its miserable life in a crowded pen. It's healthier for me as well, and I support my local economy. Yes, we use them for cancer research. This does not mean that it's ethical to torture bunnies so that Revlon can make a mascara that is waterproof in a tsunami. Yes, we use them in horse racing. This does not mean that we make them weak through imbreeding, and jeopardize their lives by giving them medication on gameday so that they cannot realize that they are beyond their own physical limit.
I'm not disagreeing with you - I'm just saying that there are levels to us PETA nuts, and that some people are a little more sane about their love of animals. I wouldn't choose the life of an animal over the life of a human (in most cases - depends on the human), but some simple things can be done to treat them a little more humanely.
A rational perspective ( bible excluded) on the treatment of all living things is key.

That's the best you can come up with, 1Trick.It doesn't surprise me that you would exclude the Bible as being "rational" considering how almighty and smart you are.
Perhaps you can get the Pope to change the language in the Bible to read:
"...the Father, Son and Satellitedriver".
And Jesus said," Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone."I also enjoy stoning witches and adulterers.
