Los Alamos has had four major fires since 1977. These were the result of decades of man-made fire suppression, which allowed massive amounts of fuel to build up.
After the current fire, the forests in the area will be further thinned and cleared – allowing the vegetation to continue to return to a healthier state.
The path to hell is paved with good intentions. Note the bears comforting a rabbit.
so the environmentalists I know have been saying this for the last 30 years or so.
It is all that damn republican, Teddy Roosevelt’s, fault
lol, it is true, he was an environmental do gooder. He meant well, but the execution was poor. Today though, the law of unintended consequences should be well known in the environmental circles. Yellowstone’s history should be required reading for all environmentalists. There shouldn’t be so much oops these days.
Wasn’t Teddy Roosevelt the original RINO?
Well, since Lincoln started out as a Whig maybe we can refer to him as a WINO.
The bears are getting ready to have rabbit for dinner!

You travel in a different crowd of Environmentalists than those I knew over the last 50 some years.
Looks more like a deer to me. Or half deer, half rabbit, perhaps a mutation from one of the experiments they do over there.
Looks like Bambi, which fits the fairy tale image. Bears love fawns. Looks like they’re getting ready to kill and eat that one. The one on the left is saying Grace, or thanking the Fire God for that meal.
Mr Gored, you made me laugh out loud, or lol as the youngsters would write nowadays.
😀
I was going to make the same comment. Definitely a deer. And if it is letting a bear hug it, it is a mutation!
The bear did say grace before it ate.
Its a very holy bear! 🙂
I wonder what Native American Indians think of Smokey the Bear?
The bear on the left is asking for his dinner to be cooked medium to rare.
There is absolutely no way a Public Service Announcement would be allowed to show a character praying nowadays. Too “divisive”, like the American flag.
