Re: Bear mauls five people in India

9ThreeXFifty7,

Sikhs are big drinkers. They would be in as much danger as the Naga people.

It isn't only bears that raid illegal stills, though. Elephants also do this and then the consequences are vastly more devastating as you could imagine. I don't recall the name of the documentary in question but the NAtional Geographic Channel did a very good one on the subject and they actually filmed an elephant raid on a village after a herd of elephants (some thirty of them) got drunk and decided they didn't want any pesky Indian people about.

There are weird things that happen in that part of the world, no doubt. I also think that if American bears could get their paws on stills here, they might develop a taste for firewater and become as dangerous. Theya re much bigger than the sloth and the Himalayan bears in any case, and the potential for danger is greater.

Good hunting!
