    Last month Ron DeSantis, the state’s rightwing Republican governor, signed into law a controversial bill that allows the public to shoot and kill bears for a perceived threat to “a person, pet or dwelling”.

    The legislation was drawn up by the Republican state congressman Jason Shoaf, a keen hunter according to his biography, who claimed in February that “bears high on crack” were breaking into people’s houses and “tearing them apart”.

    At the time the Guardian was unable to find a single documented incident of any bear in Florida ingesting crack, and Shoaf did not return a request for clarification.

    What planet do these people even live on?

    “Onlookers were trying to take selfies with the bear and he’s clearly not in the mood for pictures. The bear has shown signs of severe stress,” the post said.

    It described the large male bear as “stressed, depressed, lemon zest” and urged the public not to approach a black bear at any time, “especially those that are showing aggression like this big fella”.

    How are we supposed to take this seriously when they make jokes?

      Because it’s possible to joke about something while still treating it seriously? Acknowledging that the bear is relatable, and that that’s kind of funny, isn’t incompatible with urging people to respect its boundaries.

    Guess we should change the old saying to if it’s brown lay down, if it’s black put it on snap?

      That bear’s a roadside attraction in Florida. Ain’t nothing lucky about that.

      For some reason, I feel like fighting a drunk Russian might be preferred over Florida.

      I’m curious but I have to ask first: on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being fully traumatizing to watch, how bad is that video?

      A friend once showed me a video of a woman being attacked by a shark and my god the screams were terrible
