A fed bear is a dead bear.

Just as there are a plethora of things you can do to avoid being attacked by a bear, there are a number of things you can do that virtually assure you'll be charged by one. Feeding bears pretty much guarantees that either the idiotic human that fed the wild animal will be attacked or that the bear will eventually have to be put down.

When bears become accustomed to being fed by humans, they start to hang around and approach humans more often. This obviously creates dangerous situations, and if it doesn't end tragically and...

I hope I live long enough that I don't care what happens to me like this guy.

One of the benefits of getting old is that the whole "give a f**k" seems to go away, and you can just say or do whatever you want. I mean, who's going to stop you? And what do you really have to lose at that point?

And this guy really doesn't seem to care what happens after walking right up to a herd of bison in near Bridal Veil Falls in Oregon.

Obviously there are warnings all over the park to stay 25 yards (or 75...

For those not well versed in moose facts, the shedding of antlers is normally a fairly lengthy process. It happens only once a year after mating season and usually consists of a moose losing one antler at a time. It’s incredibly rare for a bull moose to lose both at the same time—and even more rare that someone would actually catch it on film. That’s why shed hunter (yes, that’s a real term) and woodsman Derek Burgoyne calls his footage of the phenomenon a “one-in-a-million” shot.

Apple Valley, MN

A routine flight training session at the Minnesota Zoo turned tragic when a Eurasian eagle owl escaped its handler and landed in a tiger enclosure, where it was killed by one of the tigers, according to a U.S. Agriculture Department inspection report and zoo officials. The incident occurred on April 29 during a bird show training session at the zoo in Apple Valley, a suburb of the Twin Cities. The owl, which was in the early stages of its training, failed to return to its handler and instead flew into an outdoor enclosure housing tigers. The tiger in the enclosure preyed upon the owl before zoo staff could intervene, the inspection report stated.

If you’re a dairy farmer, the title of this blog is almost sacrilegious, especially when you find out it was said by my vet. As dairy farmers, we’re raised knowing that you never give up. It’s never really said out loud, but you just intrinsically know that you’re meant to put that calf’s health above your own. It’s the dairy farmer way. Then, if the calf still doesn’t make it, you wallow in your guilt. Because it’s obviously something you did or didn’t do that made you lose that calf, right? Logically, your brain tells you that every single calf doesn’t live, but your heart tells you it’s your life’s purpose to make sure they do.

Not every calf is meant to live
