LOL! Maybe this last sentence explains everything now... You just want a
non-lethal means to defend yourself. Why didn't you just come out and say
that from the beginning, in stead of piling on the statistical bandwagon
with a bunch of nonsense from the people that make the spray?
Maybe we need a bear taser for you guys? Oh, wait... that's still a bit
controversial isn't it?
I hope you feel the same way about these creatures when one of them bites
off your arm, or the arm of one of your children. Then you can tell them how
you made your choice based on not having the stomach to kill a wild animal
that chose to attack you.

It could be.... If i can't deter it with other means, like firing a shot
near it. I already told you i had an encounter with a bear several years
ago, and we both walked away. There is nothing immoral about killing an
animal that attacks you.

That's a rather stupid consideration, since man has as the same right to
wander the wilderness that any other animal has.
