Really enjoyed last nights programme. It was better than Wednesdays, when the wolf seemed to dominate . The amount of fish is astounding , and I consider you to be very lucky to have visited and experienced what you did Salmon. ( not the poor old black bear incident though. )

We really are just tiny particles in an immense world of magnificence, unfortunately we are also the most dangerous. It was interesting to understand how the natives have managed their land and fishing for so long to meet with nature which continues to benefit them. We could do with looking at our own cock-ups and take a page out of their books.

Very lucky indeed Granny,cost me a packet! Well worth it though, seeing our distant family and the grandsons growing up.
No doubt that humans are far and way the most dangerous, wilful and non-wilful creatures on the planet. You only have to look at what happened in Yellowstone Park to realise just how balanced nature is until we come along with our killing machines and mentality and destroy that perfect balance.

Ha ! Don't worry about what it cost Salmon, do it while you can and those special memories will last much longer.

With regard to humans being the most dangerous and cruel , black bears and moon bears continue to be used in bile farms in their hundreds, if not thousands. Such a cruel industry and the worst of all are the Chinese. Dreadful and heartily sickening. I shall not put images up here to spoil this nice topic, but if anyone is interested , just google 'bear bile farms' and go to images. For 20 yrs their home if they survive.
Nine were rescued last month, but the agony will not disappear in the short term unless there is a total ban on such things. Plenty of petitions out there.
