How could anyone even kind of see this as funny??
First off, why are the barrels just lying around out there to begin with? Don't most people store them somewhere else like, say,
a garage? Second, those bears are probably getting major brain damage among other things because they are doing that. Why are they doing it? They don't know any better! Bears are pretty smart in general, but we doubt they know what fuel is and why they shouldn't be smelling it like they are.
We're kinda used to people being ignorant, but this is more than a little over the top for us. Sorry for the mini-rant, we just can't stand this kind of stuff.
