Florida B.S. Thread

LAKE HELEN, Fla. - A bear attacked and killed four pet goats and injured a donkey at a rural Volusia County home, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
The attack happened about 4 a.m. Monday at a home on Running Deer Trail, a wooded lane not far from Interstate 4.
The homeowner, whose miniature donkey, Nugget, was badly scratched by the bear, told the FWC that she is “terrified because the bear has now tasted blood.”

Dan MacCarrick, a neighbor, said bears have traveled through his yard previously, but there's never been a reason to call wildlife officials.
"I think that now that he's actually killed something, FWC needs to do something, he said. "Now that's he's actually climbed inside pastures and killed other animals, he'll continue to kill.
MacCarrick said he wonders what the bear could do next.
"I'm concerned about the kids in the neighborhood, other pets in the area," he said. "It killed the (animals) just for fun, it appears. He didn't eat anything. He just killed them and went on to the next one.
"I'm actually pretty tired. We haven't slept a whole lot since Sunday. Every time the dogs bark, we do what we can to secure the smaller animals that we have," MacCarrick said. "We lock them up in a stall. We've barricaded our barn to try and protect them. During the day they're in the pasture."
The FWC said bears occasionally take small livestock, but the animal's typical diet consists 80 percent plants, nuts and berries.
Wildlife officials said they advised the families to secure all feed and garbage in a closed, locked building or secure area. Also, the FWC said small livestock should be kept in an area surrounded by an electric fence.
"We'll put that around where the smaller animals are kept," said MacCarrick, adding that the materials for the fence cost him about $500.
MacCarrick said he's hopeful that the bear can be trapped and relocated and won't have to be euthanized. ..So none of these folks have guns???

Someone spotted my picture above on Instagram and commented that he saw me on the beach today, he then posted this picture:

 

Looks like your flag mount worked!

 

It did, I only left it on while on the beach and driving slow through the city. It started moving a bit too much for my comfort when we picked up a little speed, so we pulled over and pulled it out. But it looked great otherwise.
