The Ultimate Selfish

What would you do if you saw bear cubs in a tree?

Take some pictures?  Sure, from a safe distance.

Watch out for Mama Bear?  Damned right.

Drag the cubs out of the tree and take selfies with them?  Only if you are a fuckwit of epic proportions.

Sure enough, a group of about half a dozen epic fuckwits in North Carolina did just that.

I contemplated posting video on this, but I decided against it.  It's out there if you search and I think these dumb-asses have already gotten enough internet fame, even if it's entirely negative.  They make the shit heads filmed destroying rock formations at Lake Mead this week look positively...well...actually they're massive fuckwits as well.

If you google "idiots taking selfies with bear cubs" the videos will appear.  The footage is honestly difficult to stomach.  Given the state of the society we inhabit, I don't doubt these dinks are thrilled to bits at how many clicks their profiles have gotten because of this.   

This kind of colossal stupidity put the humans at risk from Mama Bear.  More importantly, they could have hurt the cubs or possibly separated them from their mother at a vulnerable age.  There appears to be a fence between the trees and the people, so Mama was probably foraging for food back in the trees and once the cubs were on the other side of the fence, they're likely doomed.

Apparently, the local wildlife agency rescued one cub and confronted the group.  I hope there will be consequences for these morons.  Potentially harming or even killing a beautiful animal for the sake of a lousy selfie.  The selfishness is staggering.

Humans.  We can be so horrible for such ridiculous reasons.
