So about half hour ago I went to bed as I was laying there waiting to go to sleep i heard something outside below my bedroom window
a dog? i thought but its a adult black bear it knocked over the barbecue and the garbage as I stood on my bed looking out the window at this creature of the night a faint outline i could only make out I hear my dad curse and go towards the sundeck with his gun I'm sitting there in my room watching
I walked out to the sundeck and whisper" do you see him?, is he gone?" just as the words left my mouth this huge black body emerges
Bang the gun goes off with a flash of light my ears start ringing ,I cant believe how loud of a sound it made and crack again another sharp sound to my ear then a new sound comes forth from the blackness of the backyard a deep painful moan
the bear is obviously hurt he cries out but no one can hear him my dad leaves the sundeck as I stand there looking out the window he must be just under the lip of the porch I cant see him but his deep cries of pain devourer my consciousness,
he was only tiring to survive only looking for a source of food not so much saying he was looking for us but the summer was not good for berries this year so I imagine he was hungry, and now all alone and scared in pain and slowly but surly he will be no longer here by morning
Just imagine that for a moment your just out to buy a loaf of bread and suddenly bang bang two bullets pierce your flesh its dark and cold you have no idea what has happened to you so you run run as far away as you can and hide you cry for help but no one hears your suffering , your in pain so much it makes you scream, its cold, dark,your alone; slowly dieing alone
that painful squeal of a moan is haunting me now it was only ten minutes ago
why is it okay for such animals to be shot and killed they are living beings they have the same concious thought we do, on the news they always say how sick cereral killers are for the ways they decide to dispose of their victims, but really how different is it to shoot a living animal who is only seaching for a means of survival

:( scary. vivid.
but also. Your dad was just trying to survive also. if he hadn't shot that bear, it probably would have gone after the horses if it didn't find something. or a dog. or someone outside. who knows.
it's a very fine line to walk. because there are just some trigger happy people out there. and people that don't take advantage of a situation properly.
like. people who sport hunt instead of using the animal with meat and all etc.
:( hope you don't have any more run-ins with bears!
well at least your dad is sending it somewhere where it won't just rot :(
but that is terrible. i think i'd have nightmares :S
i hope you're alright :(
have a great first day!
I like this post, bex.
I'm not justifying killing animals, but they don't have the same concious as us. Its debatable. They are aware when they are hurt.. but I wonder if they know they will die? I don't know if they are aware of death? Hmmm. Also, what happened in the morning to the bear?
I feel so sad for it, though.. your dad really had to do what it had to do :/
