Re: Migrate to Canada or Australia
They don't need to be supported at all because this isn't a peer-reviewed journal. I'm telling you bears kill more people in Canada every year than spiders, snakes and sharks kill people in Australia. I know this to be a fact, but I care not very much what is thought about this statement on here. If anyone has an interest in this or doubts it they can check it out. There we are.

The kill stats may be right, but the point is, if you go into an area that's known for bears, then you're expecting them - spiders are everywhere!

I don't care about a spiders vs. bears debate, but if you're going to make statements that you want to be considered as fact, then some proof helps your credibility, peer supported journal or not.

Rubber bullets have/are being trialed on bears/wolves/coyotes etc to try to condition their behavior towards humans. see link below as an example.
Possibly a more effective method of protecting humans and nature?

Edit- here is info about spider bites: http://www.washington.edu/burkemuseu...downunder.html
Info about snake bites:http://members.iinet.net.au/~bush/myth.html
It would appear that more people are killed each year in Europe from falling from horses than are killed each year in Australia from snake bites.

Hunters are most at risk from bears or those that invade their territory. Most bear kills are in the back country, not many happen in tourist or residential spots. A shark can get you swimming off a tourist beach, a spider can get you in bed or sitting on the toilet, a snake can hide under the house or in the garden.

the difference between the last person killed JUST by a SPIDER and now, is the anti venom that has been developed and that is now more readily available, all in the LINK.
Now i know whats coming, you can't get an anti bear bite shot, once your leg has been gnawed off its pretty much gone. thats what large calibre rifles are for though i would contend.
