Many call comedian Tim Bedore an alarmist. For many moons Bedore has been warning us of the animal conspiracy against humans.

The other animals are out to get us. I'm convinced there is a multi-species conspiracy whose goal is to harass, embarrass and attack humans. In the past I have reported on the eagle that stole a woman's beloved pet Chihuahua at a downtown gas station, and about the woman who beat up a moose after being attacked while cross-country skiing. I, myself, had a violent confrontation with a squirrel in my own home. Now there are reports from northern California of bears that are making concerted efforts to humiliate and starve vacationers.

Things seem to be getting much worse. All evidence points to an escalation of hostilities by the animals.

Six years ago, a bear fatally attacked a woman in the Smoky Mountain National Park marking the first fatal bear attack in the parks history. More recently, a bear members of a family in the Cherokee National Forest not far from the Smoky Mountain National Park. A six year old girl was killed, her mother critically injured and her brother injured.

Now, in a weeks time, alligators killed three women in Florida. A bear also attacked a man in Banff National Park in Canada.

Maybe all this is related to George W. Bush's presidency. Today CNN.com ran this headline: Bush announces border security plan, Deadly gators attack in Florida. Are alligators sympathetic to the cause of illegal immigrants? I don't know but be afraid, be very afraid.

On a more serious note, don't forget that wild animals are wild animals. Be careful out there.
