I read this memoir where a guy escaped from Iraq as a Kurdistan refugee and went over the border into Turkey and Iran, he hid in caves and foxholes and had to shoot wolves and bears. Eventurally he made it to Pakistan and Afghanistan where he got rerfugee status by the UNCHR and ended up in New Zealand
where there are no wolves or bears
although there are still mad crazy people with guns who roam in gangs in nz so...I dont know if its THAT safe from predators. Though we dont have an execution style govt anymore. (we used to, apparently, death by hanging)
we also have lots of honey and the parliament building is called 'the beehive'.
I just wondered since when did bears change from wild animal that could maul you to pieces into cuddly teddy bedtime companion?

Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt was a President of the US that popularized the stuffed animal.
It was a campaign tool to popularize him.
No worries. I haven't seen any other SASS (Stuffed Animal Support Service) members here. Your cover is intact.Thanks for blowing the cover on my anonymous support group.
Whew.
That was close.
*Seoulsearch stealthily places her stuffed friend back on the couch, even though it's not a bear.*
Friend, singular? I do hope you're not trying to pretend you only have one...
Or are you just referring to the one you are holding right now?
Hush, Cat.
You know, for being an anonymous support group, you're not being very supportive OR anonymous right now.
And besides, this is the internet.
EVERYONE can use a the back-up of an emotional support stuffed critter when wading onto the world wide web.

Yes we did. People put them in their windows or at their mail boxes esp when the heavier lockdowns were on and people were not going into shops except for essentials. We were allowed out for exercise and walks and it was done to keep the kids calm and happy. It became a game for the kids to see how many bears they could spot. Some people were very inventive the way they displayed their bears. It was kind of cute actually and I admit enjoying seeing them when I would go for a walk. It was a nice relief from the constant covid barrage.
was it orginally a stuffed and mounted bear?
you know how people hunt and kill bears and then stuff them and out them on display
I wonder if any other US presidents had mascots.
there was an Elvis Presley song about teddy bears but the lyrics are kind of disturbing
put a chain around my neck. and lead me anywhere?
theres also the teddy bears picnic..its not actually meaning a wild bears lunch.
although some bears are vegetarians, like pandas and koalas.
is it justice, bible style?....is it bad that all I can think about is that story in 2 Kings?
Do anything wrong, get eaten by wild animals
either by lions or bears
I never read 'We're going on a bear hunt' until I worked in a school library and even after reading it I dont know if the story would have appealed to me when I was child
It was based on that picture book.
Though a picture book was later made called 'the bear in the window'
I recently bought a picture book called 'there are no bears in this book'
though in my library, there seem to be more books about wolves, lions and dinosaurs than bears.
There are so many on native birds that I have a separate shelf just for them. There is also a growing collection of books about unicorns.
we do have berenstein bear books
But clifford the dog seems more popular.
The Berenstein Bears books are kind of 'preachy' but in a good way
however they are probably not that fun for children to read, Its more books parents would read to teach their children morals because if they were an actual human family it would be too saccharine to stomach
