Bear cub spotted lounging in tree in College Park


 
Flashback!
This poor young Black Bear Cub
has no adult to show it
how to be a bear,
how to hunt for food
and
how to keep away from 'humans'!

Black Bear Hunt?


 This bear cub is one of the many victims of the hand changing, money grabbing, government officials, phony bear hunt!

Updated: May 25, 2016 - 6:28 PM


COLLEGE PARK, Fla. —

A bear cub was spotted lounging in a tree in College Park Tuesday.

Even though the bear has not returned, residents remained leery about the possibility that it could still be in the area.

A bear was spotted in a tree Tuesday on the 1200 block of Country Club in College Park.

The bear spent some quality time hanging out in a tree in the back yard of a College Park home before it was scared off with a paintball gun Tuesday.

The Orlando Police Department first reported reports of a bear sighting in College Park at about 9 a.m.

The sightings took place in the 1000 blocks of Bryn Mawr and Smith streets, and the 900 block of New Hampshire Street.

"I was actually in the laundry room doing, folding laundry and I looked out the window and I saw a shadow, and I thought, 'That is a very large dog,'" resident Arden Magee said.

Magee said the bear caught her off-guard and her heart began racing.

The bear hung out in a tree for hours until officials shot a paintball gun near the bear, but not at it, in hopes to scare it off. The bear fled the area, according to officials.

Officials were waiting to see if the bear would leave the tree and move on without help. They didn't want to tranquilize or capture the bear because of safety risks to it and people.

At about 9 p.m. Tuesday, the bear was spotted again in a yard near Golfview Street and Orange Blossom Trial.

The bear then ran off and was nowhere in sight, officials said.

The bear appeared to be a juvenile traveling south through College Park, OPD said on its Twitter account.

“Please keep pets indoors and don’t approach (the bear),” the posting said.

Officials said they haven't received any additional calls about the bear. They also advised residents to keep trashcans and pet food inside.

VA secretary just compared hospital to Disneyland

 
If you truly want the VA Hospitals to run smoothly,
hire a military grunt to be in charge!
Someone the likes of me comes to mind?
VA Secretary Bob McDonald, 85 to 95% of the visitors to the Disney theme parks
are families with young children on vacation and well 'capable' and 'use to' waiting
for an enjoyable ride or two during their vacation.
95% of the veterans, while not on a vacation or a picnic,
are waiting for you and your staff to do your jobs.


Jobs that you are well pay to do I might add,
and are old and or crippled one way or another
from wars that allowed you,
VA Secretary Bob McDonald,
the freedom to poke fun at,
your "Heroes!"
VA Secretary Bob McDonald
needs to find another job,

"Washing bedpans comes to mind!"

VA secretary just compared hospital wait times to Disneyland lines
by: Katie Link, Newsy Updated: May 23, 2016
McDonald took over as secretary for the department after a 2014 investigation revealed veterans were dying while waiting months to receive care at VA hospitals.

But more recent reports indicate wait times are still an issue.

In April,

the Government Accountability Office released a report indicating nearly half of surveyed veterans seeking medical care were forced to wait more than 30 days for treatment.


Disney Ride Wait Times Compared To VA Wait Times
May 24, 2016 by Benjamin Krause —10 Comments


VA Secretary Bob McDonald was idiotically caught with his shoe in his mouth when he conflated the VA wait times were veterans died to Disney’s ride wait times.

Most people would never think these two issues could ever be compared to each other in any manner, but Secretary Bob thinks the wait list should not be discussed just like wait times at Disney rides are not discussed in the press.

VA SECRETARY ON WAIT TIMES

Here is what CNN cited concerning Bob’s idiotic statement:

“When you go to Disney, do they measure the number of hours you wait in line?

Or what’s important?”

McDonald told reporters at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast in Washington.

“What’s important is what’s your satisfaction with the experience?”

Somehow, nonsense like Disney amusement rides are now the standard by which American should be informed about veterans dying while waiting for health care – never talk about it.

I do not have a lot to say about this since it would be an insult to my intellect to burn time on the subject.

Disney ride wait times are not the same as wait times for sick and dying veterans to see a doctor.

Apparent Secretary Bob missed the memo… or he screwed up the math.

Veteran's affairs
Instead, Secretary Bob said that
“satisfaction with the experience”
is what is
“important.”
Of course, how can they adequately measure the satisfaction of dead veterans who died waiting for health care?

Since when did we become such a country of ninnies, anyway?

Somehow if we feel good about being defiled that is sufficient to justify ignoring the violation?

If we do not turn this country around soon, I think it is time we all start to consider moving somewhere that takes the plight of its citizens more seriously than Mickey Mouse.

We live in central Florida.

Florida is a Tropical Peninsula close to the Equator, hot and rainy.

Florida is and has been a home to tropical plants, birds, animals and reptiles millions of years before humans.

This Lakefront subdivision means that in Florida it is next to a home of Alligators among many other things.

This lake has a sign

What is "COOL?"


Country-of-origin labeling (COOL) for beef, pork, and chicken.

House Votes to Repeal Country-of-Origin Labeling for Meat
 

Remember my past postings?


This is just a few of what has been happening and now will continue to happen because "You" have not been paying attention to "Your" Federal and State Congress!

The House of Representatives just voted 300-131 to remove "Country of origin labeling" known as (COOL) on chicken, pork and beef sold in the US.

Is China still selling bad pet food?

Thursday, March 29, 2012


YES!


As seen on 'twitter' yesterday.

By Lydia Zuraw | June 11, 2015

The House of Representatives has voted to repeal country-of-origin labeling (COOL) for beef, pork, and chicken.

Texas Republican Rep. Michael Conaway’s Country of Origin Labeling Amendments Act of 2015 passed late Wednesday night by a 300-131 vote.

Conaway introduced the bill on May 18 — the same day the World Trade Organization rejected a U.S. appeal of its decision that COOL unfairly discriminates against meat imports and gives the advantage to domestic meat products.


COOL, which went into effect for meat in 2013, require that packaging indicate the country, or countries, where animals were born, raised and slaughtered.

Supporters of repeal don’t want the U.S. subjected to the $3.6 billion in potential retaliatory tariffs sought by Canada and Mexico.

They also argue that the rule has already burdened the U.S. meat industry.

House Democrats who spoke on the floor in support of the bill included Reps. Costa, Scott, Sanford Bishop (D-GA), Mike Thompson (D-CA), Henry Cuellar (D-TX) and Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-OR) who said that, “COOL may have been well-intended, but we’ve lost four times at the WTO … let’s repeal it, let’s move on.”


I know "We do not care about our life, health, family, or country!"

Let us just keep voting these bums back in to office?

P.S.

Remember, Bernie Sanders has been in an office of government for 35 years and today he is demanding that congress, of which he is a member, pass laws?

35 years and he did not know that he should be one of those that he is now demanding to past a law, any law?


Please think and vote?

Panther killed in southwest Florida

Panther killed in southwest Florida


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS October 8, 2015

Officials say a Florida panther was killed by a vehicle on a southwest Florida road.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reports that the 3-year-old female was found Thursday after being hit by a vehicle on a stretch of the Tamiami Trail

that runs through Collier-Seminole State Park.

The remains will be taken to a Gainesville facility for a necropsy.

This is the 31st Florida panther killed this year, the 22nd by a vehicle strike.

Florida set a record last year with 25 road kills and 33 overall deaths.

Florida panthers once roamed the entire southeastern U.S., but only around 180 remain in the wild.


I believe that just like the Black Bear Population, the 180 is only a guess!

There could be a few more, just like with the Florida Black Bear Population, more than likely there are a lot less!

And soon, too soon, there will be none of each!

Because the Ranchers in South Florida hate the Florida Panther and realtors want to build in the,

both bears and panthers,

sanctuary!

How did the other 9 panthers die this years?

and

How did the other 8 panthers die last year?

Also notice, Florida panthers once roamed the entire southeastern U.S.

But only around 180 remain in the wild.

Not my works but theirs!

So, how many are still in Florida?

Dog attacks Bear, Bear Wins


Dog and lights Spooked the bear
Dog attacks Bear, Bear Wins

Remember, the state of Florida has been selling the most desired and necessary food of the Black Bear!

The Saw Palmetto Berry for big profits for years and there is little if any left!


If you listen close to the interview you will hear four very important things, not counting their loss of their food, that are in the bears favor?

(1)- In the interview

Mr. Bryant stated to the WFTV Reported, the channel that we were watching this morning, that he had burses but it did not go through his clothing?

Now he said that the bear knocked him down and tearing his clothing?

I wonder, is Mr. Bryant one of the 2,000 plus, hunters geared up to shoot bears in a few days?

(2)- This trailer park is still putting trash out at night instead of the morning.

(3)- The dog attacked the bear while the bear was just looking for food.

(4)- The trailer 'sensor controlled lights' came on at the end of the animals fighting when the men stepped out the door!

Which, the man admits, spooked the bear.

The bear could have easily have also killed the man however, it just knocked him down on the way out of the area.

Florida Black Bears do not Kill Humans?


Wildlife officials are trying to trap a bear that attacked and killed a family's dog in Orange City late Monday night.

Alan Bryant said that after the bear killed his dog, it went after him.

Bryant said the bear swung at him, knocking him down and tearing his clothes.

In the interview Mr. Bryant stated to the WFTV Reported that he had burses but it did not go through his clothing?

Now he said that the bear knocked him down and tearing his clothing?

Just like the last time when the dogs attacked a bears cub, the bear will be the loser.

Staber said it was trash day and the bear got into the neighbor’s trash can. He dragged it to the side of her home and started rummaging through the trash.

Why are there so many "HIT & RUNS" in Florida?


 

Casselberry man killed in hit-and-run identified

Posted: 8:24 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2015


Every Day it would seem that there is at least one if not more than one, hit and run that injured or killed someone from the day or night before.

The funny thing, if one can call this disgrace funny!

Is that the media bombards the public 20 or 30 times a day as if they just cannot understand why?
Hint, Hint, Media!

Show up at any court with your camera and reporter any morning for traffic court, most have a place for you to set up.

I spent two trip days in Sanford court fighting to get this criminal arrested and one reporter show up?

Both days we were packed in like sardines!

If you are willing to spend a little time putting the pressure on our officials, we just might be better able to get more 'hit and runs' in jail "Before" they kill people?

Watch and learn our Judiciary (Judicial System) at work!

Many times you will see that most of the clients have a record of infractions, some as long as your arm!

Words from a judge not mine!

The majority, not all, have an attorney, like in my case, and do not even have to show up to court and in my case, he only got a little spanking on the wrist!

I found out, like in my case, the police officers, both of them, did not write down my complaint that he, after thinking that my car was disabled, left the scene of the accident!

Makes one wonder if the police do not want to do the extra paperwork or are just too lazy?

So, the Judges hands are tied as to the fine for the crime?

The next time someone might be left for dead on the road while this guy just drive away!
Today was a Twofer!

Coral Springs Police Officers Give Free Arby's Meal to Homeless Man


Coral Springs Police Officers Give Free Arby's Meal to Homeless Man


In response to the free meal offer, two officers with the Coral Springs Police Department took them up on the deal.

However, they gave their meal to a homeless man instead of having it for themselves.

Arby's offered free meals for police officers in South Florida on Friday, following a controversial incident involving an Pembroke Pines officer.

The free meals and CEO visit follow an incident earlier this week involving Arby's manager Angel Mirabel, clerk Kenneth Davenport and Pembroke Pines Sgt. Jennifer Martin.

Davenport allegedly refused to serve the officer.

Sgt. Martin pulled up to the drive-thru to place an order. According to the incident report, Martin said Davenport seemed slightly rude and short with his responses.

When she went up to the window, Mirabel said, "He doesn't want to serve you because you're a police officer."

WHERE IS THE GUN?


 

Teen hit by stray bullet while sitting on porch at Pine Hills home?

Deputies said they believe the teen was hit by a stray bullet and was not targeted.

The other teen was not injured.

Posted: 4:41 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2015

"Floridians Beware,"

this teen was just sitting on his porch after school talking to a friend when they hear a pop!

They heard the pop (noise) and he has relatively little damage considering, so it might have been a pistol?


Fast forward to next month when 1600 gun toting people, hell bent on killing a Black Bear.

If they do not make a mistake!

"Therein Lies The Rub!"

You should know that not many, if any, of those crazed 'Hunters' will be using a pistol, they will be using shot guns and/or high powered rifles with a scope and a silencer!

Lots of luck knowing when or where those bullets will be coming from?

A bullet coming from one of those can travel up to 5 miles or more.

What do Nick Wiley, Robert Spottswood, Liesa Priddy, Richard Corbett and Governor Rick Scott have in common?

For years I have been racking my poor, little, old, brain, trying to find the reason why so many government officials paid so much money to protect our beloved wildlife in Florida
are hell bent on killing our beloved wildlife?

Now, as you will soon see, the lights are coming on!

They, along with the rest of my, at this time incomplete list, of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, all control the life's of our beloved wildlife, plants, animals, fish and reptiles and each one want them out of their way!

So far only Richard Corbett has found his conscience over his pocketbook?

Bear cub struck, killed on I-4 in Seminole County


And so it begins!

Yes, unfortunately our bears and all of our wildlife die a horrible death on Florida roads everyday however, as the old saying goes,

"You ain't seen nothin' yet!"

A little play on words to try to help my breaking heart!

Soon after this "Law illegal hunt" gets under way and the hunters start killing mother bears, what do the bear cubs do?

They walk around looking for their mother of course!

Oh wait hunters are not suppose to kill females bears you say?

Who will be out in the woods with those thousands of crazed hunters checking on each kill?

YOU?

How many of those crazed hunters that paid their dues and ones that have not, care if they shoot a male or a female or anything else that moves for that matter?

How many babies will be hungry, thirsty and walk out into a road looking for mommy?


A bear cub was hit by a vehicle and killed Friday morning along Interstate 4, according to Florida Highway Patrol troopers.

The bear was struck around 6 a.m. near State Road 17-92. Some wildlife supporters said such incidents could start happening more frequently.

Wildlife supporter and bear hunt opponent Chuck O'Neal told Channel 9's Racquel Asa that with Florida set to allow hunting of black bears, bear cubs crossing the roadway will happen more often, especially because female bears are fair game during the hunt.

"The mother would not have let that bear cub cross I-4.

Trash Fines if Black Bears get into trash


Well it is about time, or is it?

Will the Fish and Wildlife now be putting the hunt on hold at least until we see if this new rue works or until we have a court hearing on the lawsuit against you?\

Or better yet both?

Penny wise and years too late!

No!

So far, Rob Headley, you and your lazy neighbors are the cause of this unnecessary hunt to kill our beloved Black Bears!

I think people, by and large, take care of their own trash fine, so far," Headley said.

Right!

Tempting bears with trash could lead to fines for homeowners

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. —

Neighbors living along Markham Woods Road in Longwood know a trash container can become a bear's buffet.

"I can't take the trash out the night before like most people do.

I've got to get up at the crack of dawn to take it out at 6 a.m.

Otherwise I wake up to a street full of trash," resident Rob Headley said.

Starting last week, the penalties have changed for homeowners in the state who leave trash out for pickup and bears become a problem.

First time offenders are to receive a written warning,

the second time they'd get a $100 civil citation

and the third time it's a second-degree misdemeanor.

"I'm against it.

I think people, by and large, take care of their own trash fine, so far," Headley said.

Previously, homeowners would instantly face a second-degree misdemeanor, punishable by possible jail time and a fine if they unintentionally fed bears by leaving garbage out, but state attorneys across the state were tossing the cases out.

Wildlife officials told Channel 9's Julie Salomone that some homeowners associations have taken it a step further by placing time restrictions on when homeowners can put garbage out.

For example, those living in the Heathrow community can't place trash cans out overnight or any earlier than 5 a.m. pickup day.

A homeowner told Salomone that his bear-proof trash can cost about $200.

It has a latch on the side.

Homeowners in the community who have bear-proof cans are allowed to leave their garbage out overnight for pickup.

Wildlife officials say they don't have authority to put time limits in place, but they recommend putting the can on the curb pickup day.

Tahtonka is not qualified for the job


Liesa Priddy/Nick Wiley Wildlife Protectors-RIGHT!

These two, Governor Scott and the rest of these grew have sentences our peace loving bears to death and are now trying the same slick tricks on our beloved Florida Panthers!

Thinking back a couple of years, they first started talking about a few Black Bears killings just like what they are doing now to our panthers and when the public screamed they backed off for a little.

This, of course got the attention of the NRA and those rich hunters around the state, country and the world, a great plan if one is money hungry enough?

Next came a feeble attempt at stopping the bear feeding public, people leaving food out all night and lazy people not protecting their trash containers, this included companies that drop containers at all businesses in Florida and lazy people not closing doors on those containers!

Today is the second time this Governor Scott planted committee member, that had also planted a ranch on our beloved Florida Panthers Reserve, has tried killing off our beloved panthers.

Liesa Priddy has tried to get hunting on our Panthers several times even though she and her rancher neighbors have killed or run off the panthers main food source, the Florida Deer!

Remember this is the very same moves made on our beloved Florida Black Bears by Nick Wiley, a person that we pay to help protect our endangered wildlife?

This group has sold all of our Florida Black Bears food source and sold permits to kill off our Florida Deer.

Now they complain because wildlife is coming around looking for anything else to eat.

Florida Panther Permit


Wiley’s Whims! Posted on July 22, 2015

Lately, it appears that Nick Wiley is having a turn of the mind, or rethinking many things, including, Panthers, Black Bears, to hunt or not to hunt and the true core meaning of the agency that he is the head of,  the  FWC,  or Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Just three short years ago, this same man swore on the phone, after called raising hell over the 8 Black Bears that had been killed in Orlando when stupid people, did stupid things,

stating that they would never be hunted!

He has recently had secret meetings without other consul, other than that of a South Florida Rancher named Liesa Priddy, who was appointed to the Commission by Governor Scott in 2012 for the usual 5 year term, and together they decided that a new plan should be put in place for what until now has been the most critically Endangered Mammal in the country and who also happens to be our State Mammal, the Florida Panther.


Thank-you to Walking with the alligators Donna for much of this information.

I would like to see a petition for the removal of both Wiley and Priddy and replace one or both with Tahtonka.

However, she would never run, stating that she has no qualifications for protecting Florida Wildlife, endangered species, fish, plants and animals?

No hunting in the very rich areas of the state?


Over 1500 bear killing permits
Today at 5PM WFTV Channel 9 News! 

Checking the maps, one must notice that the only place with a bear to foolish human problem lies in the "Closed to hunting area?"

WHY?
No hunting in the very rich areas of the state?
The guess on the number of Florida Black Bears 3000?

Mind you that this is only a guess, on the way to a doctors appointment we, to our sadness, spotted another Black Bear down in central Florida.

How many others?

If your lose your license (by breaking the law) for whatever reason and you are stopped by a police offices, (license and registration) what can you plan on happening?

You are going to be arrested and on your way to court at the very least.

So, if we the people are not allowed to break the law, why is it that state and federal officials can get away with breaking their own laws?

Friday, July 31, 2015 3:10pm

On Monday, hunters hoping to shoot the Florida black bear during the state’s first bear hunting season in 21 years began buying up permits. With over 1,200 permits sold by Wednesday afternoon, it looked to be a hugely popular hunting event, regardless of, or perhaps because of, the national furor over Cecil the lion and the point of big game hunting.

For the right to shoot up to 320 of the formerly threatened species with a bow, crossbow, rifle, pistol, revolver, shotgun or muzzleloader, out-of-state hunters are paying just $300, while locals are paying just $100.

Open season on bears starts Oct. 24. Bait and dogs won’t be allowed, nor will hunters be allowed to take cubs or mothers with cubs.

Given that published reports say there are just 3,000 Florida black bears in the wild, we sent eight questions on the hunt to officials at

Lawsuit Aims To Halt Return Of Bear Hunting-August 3, 2015

Conservation groups want a judge to shoot down the return of bear hunting in Florida and to halt the pending sale of bear-hunting permits.

With permits for this fall’s hunt going on sale Monday, the Seminole County-based group Speak Up Wekiva filed a lawsuit in Leon County circuit court Friday challenging the constitutionality of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission-approved bear hunt.

“There is no evidence to support the supposition that hunting bears in remote wildlife management areas will reduce conflicts in suburbia,” the lawsuit contends.


In June 2015, the FWC approved a limited bear hunt

Another Medical supplier is closing its doors


 
Today while watching the news before my yard-work another healthcare supplier is going belly-up because of so much paperwork from government!

We in this country were,
one would guess,
 faulty led to believe that computers would help save our forest with much less paper use?

Not in congress with new law making apparently.

We are beginning to see just how correct Congressmen Alan Grayson was back while the media was poking fun at his report to congress?

A Kilgore medical supplier is closing its doors after 34 years, and the owner says it's Medicare's fault.


Instead of working with our president to improve Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, congress is passing laws making it harder for suppliers and providers to stay in business! Remember that (all of them are small business owners)?

Soon there will be no supplier of equipment and no providers to work with our healthcare in this country!

Just what our congress has been working to do.

Of course they have the very best insurance that your can buy for them!
Alan Grayson as a congressman has had the unique opportunity to see the republicans healthcare plan for America!

A blank piece of paper?


After saying he was inspired to read the Republican health care plan by the paper-waving GOP lawmakers at Obama's recent address, Grayson summed up his findings with a few simple pieces of poster board. "The Republican health care plan: don't get sick," he said. But, he added, "The Republicans have a back-up plan in case you do get sick ... This is what the Republicans want you to do. If you get sick America, the Republican health care plan is this: Die quickly!"


While congress is doing their thing, Grayson is still hard at work for the people.

Grayson Secures $6.5 Million Grant for Orange County Fire Department

Funding Will Help Hire 45 New Firefighters

Congressman Alan Grayson (FL-09) announced today that the Orange County Fire & Rescue Department (OCFRD) will receive a $6.5 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) program that he helped to secure through his grants program.

OCFRD is the fourth largest fire department in the state. It provides critical support to Central Florida’s hospitals, schools, local businesses, and tourist destinations such as Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. Grayson wrote a letter to FEMA in support of OCFRD’s application, and Grayson’s Grants Coordinator met with OCFRD staff.

We shoot Hunters!


First day of hunting permits sold over 600 permits
More than 600 permits to hunt bears this fall were sold by mid-afternoon Monday, the first day in more than two decades that such licenses have been available in Florida.

The sale of the special-use permits began despite a lawsuit that was filed Friday against the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to halt the hunt.

The state hasn’t estimated how many permits — which cost $100 for Florida residents and $300 for non-residents — will be bought by Oct. 23, the day before the hunt begins.

The hunt is planned to last two to seven days, depending on the number of bears killed.

600 plus permits a day.
29 days in August since the first permit day.
30 days in September
23 days until the first day of the hunt?
There will be two to seven days of the hunt, if our hunters learn how to read?
So!

Remembering Cecil, everyone's pet lion murdered by a crazed hunter with a rifles loaded to the hilt with a silencer on it!

In theory there could in fact be 6,000 plus Black Bears killed before a judge can rule that the hunt is illegal because it is against Florida's law to kill a Black Bear!


We are painting four signs 100' by 100' placing them around our house.
