Indian trap

Canadian Indians make very simple traps for bears. This is a large, honey-smeared stone suspended from a rope to a tree branch. As soon as the bear notices what it considers a delicacy, it approaches and tries to grab the stone by hitting it with its paw. Thus, the movement of the pendulum is created, and the stone beats it in response. The bear gets nervous and starts pounding the rock with all his might. The stronger the bear strikes, the stronger the blows it receives in response. It all ends with a beast knockout.



The bear cannot think, “What if I break the cycle of violence?” He only feels resentment. "I'm being hit, I'm hitting back!" he tells himself. His rabies is growing. But if he had stopped fighting, the stone would have become motionless, and the beast, having regained its former composure, might have noticed that it was only an object tied to a rope. All he had to do was chew the rope with his fangs, let the stone fall and lick the honey.
