That's the reason to alert the authorities, the children and secondly it's inhumane to trap an animal for me! It may have been accidental but nonetheless gruesome! sam

It is ashame that those traps are there...In Baltimore we don't have any out. Western Maryland, which does have a bear population might for all I know.

Any animal traps are terrible....we lose a lot of tigers here due to steel traps set up by poachers. They don't want to shoot the tiger so as to keep the skin unblemished, so it will fetch a bigger price. Human beings are the cruellest creatures.

It need not have been a trap - there are many possible explanations. Bears do die of natural causes, and then of course the wolves would get to work, as Wiley suggested...Having said that, those traps are inhumane and should not be permitted...

A bear in the wild is not a cuddly creature, but deadly dangerous
especially a mother bear with a cub. In spring when they wake from hibernation, they are ravenous, and will go after large, two-legged protein sources, whereas they can find fish, berries and grubs and rodents enough to survive later in the year. Having said that, I agree that traps are awful things and I hate them. If my son's dog brought home a bear paw, I'd be keeping that dog closer to home, and the boy would not go tramping around the woods by himself.

The job to know what to think Kabu I know animals will bite through a paw to escape from a trap. Just be careful.

Re: Don't worry dear Lady, our Wiley will help me research this and he may
be right. It may have been a fight between the wolves and the bear.
No re the Child ...I meant that I paid him for the magazine subscription and we put that money in with the brochure and lists of books for sale that the school had sent him to find contributors softies like me who will help the school and the child.
The school makes a profit on each subscription the children can get signed for a year.

I hope the child is just making a story from his exaggerated mental fables. There may be no traps. He may assume someone has put them out. You do need to put all the facts together before declaring an all out alarm. What do you mean you put your money away with the books? Is the child a thief? I know you are upset but i am not sure i get all this. I love you and I hope all this is settled soon before we buy all the child's story as fact.

It really is an unbearable tale but I think it more likely those howling wolves the other night had more to do with it love.
