'what could possibly go wrong', department,
well lots, actually it appears that more and more people
are taking 'selfies' with bears in the background of their pictures, an
alarmingly large number of tourists at South Lake Tahoe in California are
taking in this latest craze despite warnings from the US Forest Service to
leave the animals alone, or risk facing a gruesome end, most people don’t seem
to realize that while bears are normally timid creatures, they are also quite
unpredictable, “Bears are unpredictable, wild animals and may attack if
threatened,” said Forest Supervisor Nancy Gibson, “We can’t have visitors
creating dangerous situations for themselves and others, people are risking
serious injury or death if they get too close to a bear.” and it’s not just at
Lake Tahoe, the ‘bear selfie’ craze has reached Canada as well, where pictures
are being posted to social media websites,
what
ever next? posing with a lion or leopard in the African bush lurking just
behind you, oh no! I might have started a new trend in Africa!
