“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

When pets eat their owners

You know how I love a good "wild-animal-eats-dumb-human" story. Well, here's another one to kick off another week of mocking stupidity here on TRR....

ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Authorities in northeastern Pennsylvania say a woman was killed by her pet black bear as she cleaned its cage.

State police say 37-year-old Kelly Ann Walz was mauled to death Sunday evening by the 350-pound bear.

A state Game Commission spokesman says Walz kept the bear inside a steel and concrete cage near her house about 20 miles northeast of Allentown.

Officials say Walz threw a shovelful of dog food to one side of the cage to distract the bear while she cleaned the other side. At some point the bear turned on her and attacked.


No matter how cute and cuddly they appear when young, wild carnivores will eventually eat you if you keep one as a pet. The story said she owned a lion and tiger too. Who couldn't have seen this coming?

Every time I poke fun of people who by their own blinding stupidity, maim or kill themselves, I get hate mail from their family members saying how hateful and callous I am and what wonderful people their loved ones were. I'm not saying they weren't wonderful people....just that they were wonderful, stupid people.

I am the bears father and feel you are very unfair to my cub. He was never cute or cudlly. He is a carnivore that was forced to eat dog food! Would you like that? I bet not! He was stuck in a cage for his lofe and now some idiotic bureacrat will end his life because he kiled this woman. He should be turned free, and returned to his natural habita - the slums of Philly. Easier pickings there since most of the malnutritioned cant run fast.

I see you found this. I heard it on CNN and ran to the computer to see if you had it because I said to myself I HAVE to send this story to Ed because it is TOO funny and would go great on his stupidity ridiculed section. Did she not know people are meat and bears eat meat??? And even better --she gave him an APPETIZER of dogfood and left herself- the fresh stuff right there for the taking!! OMG this is TOO funny. And yes, I am sure they were wonderful people, but you're right Ed, wonderful, stupid people.
