You “…are reaching the end of [your] expected lifespan.” The expected lifespan of a Nova Scotian man is about 78 years old and you are now 87. Daily interactions with you indicate significant changes in behaviour related to your health, such as eating habits and the ability to move normally—you use a walker FFS! We “…are seeing signs of aging and perhaps a reduction in the quality of life that [you] may be experiencing, so that’s why it’s cause to start asking…” the question: Do we bring on the ovens? -You’re cute but you’re old…

Yeah, I feel bad about the bears, too. Complex issue – no easy answers on either side.
Carousel!
I think it’s time for the OB to go.
Awwww Tim! That’s my bitch!
OP, I hope that one day you find yourself discarded and thrown aside for ‘living too long’.
It was a sad fucking day when you were born, you nasty, selfish piece of filth. You should have been drowned at birth.
Someone can’t wait for the reading of the Will?
Fonebone — OB is bitching about the two bears at the wildlife park and comparing it to the ridiculousness it would be if we were talking about a human — they’re not saying their father should be euthanized.
I think if the bears are in pain and suffering, they should be put down. But if it’s just a matter of higher maintenance for the park, then no, they shouldn’t be.
It’s not kind to let animals suffer needlessly, but it’s also not kind to put them down just because they’re getting old.
Man, did I misread this post! Bears????
Yeah, it was a story on the news last night! The bears are getting old and having health problems 🙁
You had to’ve watched the story to get it 😉
And I believe Corrie was on 😉
(sorry, not sorry, for the triple post)
peter is such a dick
Ummmm… TT, the bitch is a parody on comments made by someone at the Shubenacadie wildlife Park. its in reference to officials there wanting to euthanize two elderly bears simply because of they are old. I will forgive you because you clearly didn’t make the link… but no more mistakes, else you’re fed to the bears!
Will I ever learn to use this phone? Yeah…didn’t see more than TT’s first post…
Who’s Peter? Doesn’t he like the bears either?
Jesus fuck!!!! Whatever the outcome, it will still be more dignified than what would have happened to them if they were in the wild and nature took it’s course. They would be void of any medical services, get old and slow, unable to outrun whatever eats old bears (probably a pack of coyotes) and be eaten alive.
“Peter” might be a character on Corrie.
“Vikings. It’s Corrie St. for men” – Hugo Phurst, The LAST Summit.
yes, he is and vikings is a great show
It needs a tad more blood but yeah, always keeps me entertained.
Do the bears get pain meds?
Hell, that’s how every doctor wants to treat the elderly these days…
why not chuck a few Moxduo hotdogs for breakfast and supper and see how they cope?
Or get a few weed plants growing in there and let them munch down.
20 years of captivity would not be my idea of a good bargain just to get a ‘dignified’ death
