“The man or beast that I run from ain’t been born. And its mama’s already dead.”
- Carl Moore, age 73
”And I raised both hands in the air and I cussed at him: ‘RAWWR GET OUTTA HERE YOU [bleep],’ you know? He looked at me like, “Go eff yourself.”
- Carl Moore, dog lover
“That guy’s a jerk, but he ain’t been back since he got smacked by Carl.”
- Carl Moore, American hero
California man saved his dog by punching a bear
This is Carl Moore’s world and we’re all just living in it.
Remember the name Carl Moore the next time you ever encounter a bear. Remember that, in an attempt to save his dog Lacy from a bear that wandered onto his property, Carl Moore didn’t run away from the bear -- he punched it. At least, he said he did. His friend Tyler said he “damn near corkscrewed his head.”
But please remember to not go around fighting bears just because Carl Moore said he did and won. There’s a big difference between punching a bear to save your pet, and punching a bear just because you want to punch a bear -- the latter is just straight up animal abuse.
Use Carl’s story as an inspiration to be fearless in life, not when it’s about encountering a bear, because you’re not Carl Moore, you can’t punch like him, and you’ll most likely get mauled by a bear.
