Low Soft Cervix 12 Dpo

BEAR MEAT OR MEAT MAN ?

maybe neither.
continue regarding bestiary; Alpine but not limited to, the most widely mountain. And this time back to deal with bears if not more from a literary point of view. The chronicle of recent times, providing a basis for a broader discussion that touches the film, an area in which the plantigrade often plays the role of star, and not just in films such as comforters and soft Koda Brother Bear or L ' Bear .
To begin, the news.
05/21/2008, Gioia dei Marsi (AQ). 5 pounds of honey eaten by a bear near Marsicano the National Park of Abruzzo. Curious reaction beekeeper Franco Trojans at all troubled by the fact: "It is a tangible sign of the presence of plantigrade in our country: a heritage which must be safeguarded by all means to avoid the risk to extinguish the symbol of the Marsi. 05/22/2008
, high Seriana Val (BG). In a sheep 4 sheep are torn to pieces. In crossing the network of hair that remained, according to initial investigations, it would belong to a bear.
And a few days earlier, on May 17, Prato allo Stelvio (BZ) was held the international conference Living with the bear organized by the WWF, where they discussed the best practices for the prevention of damage caused by ' animal and the measure of compensation for those who have undergone the "theft".
At our latitudes, where nature has now been completely domesticated, we can afford to quibble about the fact that the bears are a heritage for the benefit of the environment and the dangers that this purely economic presence can cause to humans. But it is not the case everywhere. In other areas of the world such as Canada, Alaska and Siberia, the debate is very different proportions: the presence of bears is a threat to human life? The discussion is open, although there, to those who wander in the woods for a hike, you are strongly advised to carry a shotgun.
These questions gave an answer the great German director Werner Herzog in his documentary film Grizzly Man . It is the true story of Timothy Treadwell, a young American (a little 'borderline , actually) who spends his summers in Alaska looking at the grizzly and turning for hours and hours of footage to demonstrate that the bears are not a danger to men, but rather they are threatened by them. Unfortunately, after 13 years of life in the Great North in 2003, the protagonist is torn to pieces with his own girlfriend by a bear. Herzog's message that you have read the immense amount of footage of Treadwell and assembled them tell the story with his own voiceover, is that nature is basically evil and coexistence between humans and animals is based on an all-out fight. Not surprisingly, the bear that is guilty of the crime will be killed in turn by the friends of Treadwell.

In response to Herzog, the Trento Film Festival was presented another documentary about the grizzly that tells the story of another curious character who spends his time in close contact with wild animals. The film opens with some statistics: over the past 100 years, 200,000 bears have been killed by man, against 91 human beings killed by bears. The title is The Edge of Eden - Living with the bears Jeff and Sue Turner recounts a summer spent in Siberia by Charlie Russell, ethologist Canada, which each year buys a pair of bear cubs from poachers caught, to reeducate the free life in the mountains of Kamchatka. It is a kind of surrogate mother for these furballs: teach them to play, to fish for salmon, to distrust by adult males that would kill them, but always promoting their instinct. And all the while feeding them so they can accumulate enough fat to survive a long winter in hibernation. In the film, he soon received a visit of two cubs reared the previous summer that are not yet fully independent and come back from time to time to take advantage of the kindness of their "mother".
The only form of self-defense taken by Russell is the pepper spray. His idea is that at most bears can be aggressive, never vicious. For the time has not yet been devoured Treadwell like, maybe never will be. A partnership between men and grizzly is possible? For some yes, some do not.
