Yes,
I did hear about this.

Now after each full moon I check the world news for aggression in animals and other strange behavior.

Andrew, severe is a kind term for it. I’m waiting for the roof to blow off and I had to rescue one of my Campbells who apparently tried to fly to the coup and got blown WAY off course.

Maybe its just me being paranoid, but of my three border collies the male is acting up (mostly growling and snapping at the little one) and my 2 females are awfully barky right now. NOTHING short of peanut butter stuck in their mouths (yes, shame on me, I do this) will keep them quiet over the past few days. The Maine Coon is being a pest but the other cats and ducks seem fine.

I believe the lady with the bear was running some sort of wild life refuge as she also had a mountain lion at her home. But still it does seem very dangerous, I’m just glad she wasn’t there alone or who knows, the bear may well have wandered out into the world and with no fear of humans you know how badly that would have turned out.

So, what says the readers? Just a bunch of odd coincidences, or we humans stringing together things to make them seem like they’re connected. Or is that 2012 prophecy working its way towards us?

You know, my dog has been acting up the last few days, more aggressive than normal. We had assumed it was just because she’s teething, but maybe not. Also my in-laws’ dog has been more aggressive than normal, too. Also, I don’t know if this has anything to do with it, but we’re having really severe winds here in Pa. too.

Strange sequence of events for sure, but let me put a few things out there. If you own a bear, rethink it, they are not pets, they are wild animals. If you think that a shovel load of dogfood competes with a large human steak, then you are braver than me. I would have at least threw in some meat.
Racoons are dangerous. They are like the mobsters of the animal world. If you walk outside to shew these critters you better be armed, because they are packing some serious heat.
To the gentlemen climbing in the cage with zoo animals, you are idiots. I actually believe the racoons may have you beat on intelligence, even without opposable thumbs. Shumway10973 was being nice to include you guys in the gene pool. I feel that your actually may be from the dried up end. To the tiger and the bear who did not finish these morons off, shame on you. You could have at least done us this small service, since we are providing you food and shelter.

My condolences to the lady herding emus. These are very unpredictable animals, and you never know when some tragedy like this might happen.

As to the recent weird events, it does seem like there is some sort of cosmic connection that is linking this all together. Too bad Nostradamus is not here to tell all of us what it means.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families of those attacked and living and of those killed.
That Raccoon attack in Florida was particulalry mystifying. Poor lady. Hope she recovers fairly quickly. That’s all a neighborhood needs. Killer Racoons. It’s like something out of a SyFY movie.

First of all, don’t shoo raccoons without some sort of weapons. My wife had raccoons try to intimidate her, like something out of West Side Story. Fortunately my wife is bigger than life and was able to punt (literally) the leader off the porch (the rest got the message). Remember, raccoons are just a couple steps below humans on intelligence and abilities. They almost have opposable thumbs.
For all the zoo incidents…stupid is stupid does. It’s too bad the critters didn’t just kill those morons. We don’t need them in the gene pool.
If you have to distract your bear while cleaning its cage, you might not want to have the bear. Most of the successful bear handlers treat it like a human that one would give great respect. If you don’t have a secondary spot for the creature while cleaning its main cage, ya might want to rethink the whole having a bear as a pet.
Finally…EMUS?! One must be ready for emus and ostriches to attack at any time.

I was curious when I saw this post, because a lot of people, including me, complained that they could not sleep. I couldn’t sleep for three days. Then a co-worker of mine said that her professor told her that the moon was to blame for this weird phenomena, though I’m not sure if it could be connected to the moon.
