I have to share this quote. Some random guy on FB just toss this on a thread.

"In the National Parks....signs say "Don't Feed the Animals". Why? Because the animals get use to handouts and lose the ability to fend for themselves. Sound familiar?"

Why do you hate po people so much? Racist!

 

[Johnny Appleseed]

Yeah and if you stop feeding them they'll turn on ya

 

[klamath]

Yeaw that bear you are feeding the grapes, is going to want some meat afterwards and if you can't supply it he will eat YOU.

Isn't It Ironic? The food stamp program, part of the Department of Agriculture, is pleased to be distributing the greatest amount of food stamps ever.

Meanwhile, the Park Service, also part of the Department of Agriculture, asks us to "please do not feed the animals" because the animals may grow dependent and not learn to take care of themselves.

What a country!

Funny.

I copied this and put it on my Facebook wall. About two minutes this popped up as the status of someone on my friends list:

i've been seeing alot of stuff about people getting hand outs and all that jazz. I'm not ashamed to admit that i get help from social services. This does not mean i don't know how to take care of myself..it means i need help. There are people who abuse it and i see it everytime i go to SS. I guess some people are lucky enough that they don't need help. Unless you've wondered where your next meal is coming from i would kindly ask ya to shut it. Thanks :~)

When does "See Something, Say Something" start getting applied to these sorts of things?

I think my favorite part of it all is that she assumes that since I don't beg the government for everything that I have that I must have no struggles at all. I guess she was not paying attention on nights when I have gone hungry so my kids could eat and when I have sat for 10+ hours in the freezing cold to sell stuff so my kids could have the basics of life.

Liberal friend's response:

Sure, even if the animal in injured or sick, far better to let nature take its course, right? Survival of the fittest and all that. Cull the herd of those too weak.

My response:

There's no sign about that, so I'm guessing if you want to give a grizzly bear an abortion, NPS is OK with it.

I have not replied yet and not sure if I will. It was on her own wall and I am not one that likes to walk into another's yard just to pick a fight and plus I am getting ready to go finish up my truck so not sure I want to get into a long debate on Facebook.

Maybe if we stop feeding them they will start eating their young.

Well at my train station, they say don't feed the birds cuz they dirty up the place pretty fast I think that's reasonable, but National Parks? that's just ludicrous.
