As grizzly bear tries to rip camera from tree, thoughts turn to horses
'Another few weeks and we can start watching for tracks as these guys wake up come out looking for something to eat,' Help Alberta Wildies Society stated Sunday via Facebook. 'This cub was totally committed to getting our camera off of that tree.'
While the cub seemed intent on claiming a new toy, many HAWS followers expressed concern about the threat grizzly bears pose for the region's free-roaming horses. (Click here to view the footage if a video player doesn't appear below.)

'Prayers for all the horses and their babies on the way,' reads the top comment.
To be sure, when grizzly bears emerge from hibernation on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, wild horses, especially foals, will be on the menu.
HAWS cameras have captured several scenes showing bears chasing horses. One of the more dramatic scenes was captured in May 2022, showing horses running for their lives with a grizzly bear perhaps 40 yards behind charging at full sprint.
In its description, HAWS wrote: 'The next time someone tells you that the Wild Horses have no natural predators, send them to me. We are losing a lot of horses this year, sooner and quicker than in past years. Not just the foals. Adults also.'

49 Entitled People Who Didn't Care About Anyone Else
The audacity of being late, then asking to be seen immediately because YOU have plans, marching into the back shouting, and then POSTING THE ENTIRE THING ON FACEBOOK, still somehow believing YOU are in the right. Oh, boy. This poor boyfriend. Expecting someone to be your sperm donor for FREE is wild. "Hey, Dad?

Being vegan is a personal choice. You don't need to make it everyone's problem. Some people never grow out of the entitlement of siblings in early childhood. How did this person actually think this would work? Lockdown was basically a case study in entitled people. This person proved why they were an ex. Hmmm, I wonder why they were banned? If you can't read the above, it says (edited for spelling and grammar):So this happened last night at Trader Joe's in Prescott. I have not been able to wear a mask from day one due to a medical issue.

Army wives are WILLLLLD. The self-importance here from your husband being in the army — not you — is scary. It's a difference of a few dollars. Is it really worth calling the manager over, RECORDING the conversation, and reporting the business? Imagine calling 911 because you want to watch TV. Do you really need to be watching two shows at once? If the door is locked, it's closed. Don't try to sneak in after someone and get mad when you can't buy an item. You offer someone an inch, and they want a mile! Quick question: what does "reasonable" mean in your book? Did these concert-goers care that NO ONE else was standing, or were they too wrapped up in their own experience to even notice? People who use seats for their bags on crowded trains deserve a special place in hell. Along with people who do this on public transport. And people who do THIS when a store has a sale.

It's like people think they enter a different universe where the normal rules of decorum don't apply as soon as they set foot in the airport. It takes two seconds to take your stuff to the trash. Guess this woman decided the sign didn't apply to her. Same with this couple. Do people really lack this level of self-awareness? Seriously. People just go through life like this? Cool, just block the way for everyone. No one will mind. Why do you need all three spaces??? Blocking an accessible spot is bad enough, but then parking like this??? This feels like it shouldn't be allowed. And is why Parisians don't like Americans.
