Well today on the news there was a story that really caught my eye. There was a rural property in B.C. about 350 kilometers outside of Vancouver that had about 1000 plants growing in a fenced off area. So what is different about this story? Well this grow op was being guarded. Well guarded and not by pitt bulls. No, no. In B.C. we have a lot of ingenuity. We march to our own wilderness drummer. This grow op was being guarded by about 10 black bears that had been habituated by the property owner who fed them and took care of them. My question is how much junk food does a bear with the munchies eat?
Oh Lori, that is definitely my morning giggle, and my morning "laugh out so loud you wake the neighbors."
ReplyDeleteI think that it's ingenious of you to use that picture, so he's innocent until proven guilty is he....

I too am laughing out loud. The Feds aren't going to bother that grower! We have the same situation here. About 5 miles north of where our summer home is and to the border of California and Oregon, the agriculture changes from grapes to pot. I wonder who makes more money these days? hehe!
ReplyDeleteHa Ha!!
ReplyDeleteHey - - - I've used that SAME photo from google image myself.
What a hoot! Great post, love the bear picture!
ReplyDeleteNow I have heard of everything.....grins...I didn't realize that BC had so many grow ops compared to other provinces.......:-)Hugs
ReplyDeleteSeriously!? ha!

I can't stand it, too funny:@) Look at his little feet hanging down from the bench!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay look, you absolutely must put disclaimers on your freekin post. I almost spit and pee'd my pants. Good Lawd!! hehehe. Tazzy
ReplyDeleteThat is too freakin' funny. Be a pal too would you. Send me a sample box of the crop. Lord knows I could use some these days and you daren't touch the local stuff. It's poisonous.
ReplyDeleteLori-I haven't been by to visit in a while and had forgotten how much you make me smile! I don't really see a future with the British Columbia Tourism Department in your future :) However, you may be contacted by individuals wanting private tours. I loved your "Out of Touch" post too. Sadly, I am more at home with Raymond Burr than Snookie myself. Bachelors and Bachelorettes, Housewives and vampires....it's too much for me!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that bear! And I bet that's a SERIOUS appetite!!!! lol!
ReplyDeleteI think he's saying, "Bring me food! Or weed.... Oh hell- how about both? My back has been acting up and I DO have a prescription." Oh wait- that's California....
ReplyDeleteLove it Lucy. hugs, Ethel
This is too funny. Here in New Mexico, we've had an explosion of Black Bears so that the Fish and Game Department increased (against many protests) the number that can be hunted. Maybe they can be put into fenced marijuana farms to work as guards, too; seems a humane way to deal with the problem!
