In France hundreds of sheep are killed after bear chases them over cliff

[RugersGR8]

France has reintroduced bears and wolves back into the wild with similar results as their reintroduction here in the United States---loss of farmer's livestock.

He got compensated for the loss.

And now the bears and wolves have hundreds of dead sheep to feed on.

Sounds like a bear market...

Yes he did but the peripheral damage to the natural wildlife continues with no compensation.
Its like our NW where they introduced the wolves back into the area around Yellowstone and other areas.
They have decimated the wildlife so bad on those areas that seasons have been opened to control and kill them. Meanwhile the sportsmen and women in this country are denied the hunting seasons because there are no longer enough animals to hunt.
They pay a guy in Montana for a dead cow at the market price only, not for the calf in its belly which is a net loss to the rancher.

Are the sportsmen & sportswomen who used to be able to hunt(can't now because of the animal conservationists reintro programs causing dwindling game numbers), the people who are losing income because their livelihoods depended or was supplemented by the hunters and their activities, etc., etc., etc. on the hook to pay the tab(taxes) for the "compensation" on the bear/wolf buffet lunch? I guess this is another example of spreading the wealth where the rich hunters, the rich hunt guides, the rich cows, the rich sheep, the rich area wildlife, the rich etc. have to spread their wealth to the poor, poor, poor bears and wolves.

Since democrats are sheep, how about we give France some new sheep?

This reminds me of an old army surplus I use to frequent.

Gun isle:

French rifle used in WWII, less than 50 rounds and dropped once. Great condition.


Every time my grandad saw that sign he had the biggest grin on his face. Then he'd comment on how he was glad he served in the Pacific. He'd probably had a dishonorable dicharged if he was side by side with the French. First one he'd see drop his rifle and run.....he'd better hope the Germans caught him before my grandad did.

Staying safe by being in the middle of the herd is overrated.

The reintroduction of wolves by tree hugging liberals over states objections is one of their baby steps to reducing guns.
No game, no need to own a shotgun or high powered rifle.

It probably works better if the herd doesn't push/drag you off a cliff...
