You know the ones I am talking about, the people that dumb warning labels have been written for. You know the warning label too, like do not use a blow dryer in the shower, the warning on a coffee cup about the contents being hot, OR my favorite in the manual of a chainsaw I own, "Do not attempt to stop the blade with hands or genitals."
These people are a menace to themselves and others. They should be put in places where they cannot harm anyone or harm themselves.
Some examples of people who are terminally stupid but often over looked are:
1) Surfers who use short boards in great white infested waters. Look, a surfer paddling a short board looks like a big fat seal to a great white, great whites eat big fat seals, so they see a surfer on a short board, they are going to take a bite.
2) People who jog on trials clearly marked as "Jog or Hike at own risk." There is a reason for this warning, there is probably a predator known to be in the area which will very likely chase down a runner and attack them. I have news for you people, predators are wired to chase down anything that is running, to them it is food.
3) Finally, the people who seem to think that they should turn on a turn signal IMMEDIATELY before they make a turn and slam on their brakes coming to a complete stop before making the turn when they have the right of way. Any driver that rear ends them gets the ticket.
Of course there are others, like people who free dive with sharks that are known man eaters, the people that speed up to pass you and then as soon as they do, slow down to a crawl making you hit the brakes.
We should work to incarcerate these people and make the world safer for the rest of us.
Dont get me wrong, I do think that an animal that has attacked a human is a danger and needs to be put down. I am talking about mountain lions, bears, wolves etc. Once an animal has killed a human, it will again.
Usually predators attack people when they are too old, sick or injured to hunt their normal prey. There is another reason that they hunt people, their normal prey are no longer there.
Now, if a county or state sets up trails in areas KNOWN to be the habitat or hunting grounds for a predator, then they should be liable for any attacks on people.
If a real estate developer builds a housing development in an area that is the habitat for a predator, they should make an attempt before building to relocate the predator, OR should be liable if one of the people that buy a house in the development is attacked.
There are subdivisions that have been built that have directly impacted the habitat of bears, mountain lions, and other predators. Then people get upset when these animals are seen roaming the streets.
Wake up people they were there first. We have invaded their habitat, and now they have no place to go.
