<p>Of course, here is the best reason yet for Barry Penner to adopt the weed-watching bears: he already has a whole bunch of bears, why not add a few more? He&#8217;ll just keep them in this fenced off area that he calls The Environment.  Note: the area inside the fence is bigger than the area outside the fence. Much, much bigger.</p>

<p>Alright, so I said I&#8217;d be posting pictures of Barry Penner with terrifying animals, and I think we can all agree that animals don&#8217;t come any more terrifying than this. If Barry Penner can handle a t-shirt wearing 5&#8217;9&#8243; bipedal moose with gigantic eyes that goes around promoting proper recycling habits, he can certainly handle ten black bears from the BC wilderness. Piece of cake. He won&#8217;t even have to call in his sidekick the Return-It Man to do the dirty work.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know if you read the news at all, but there was a recent story that, on the surface, didn&#8217;t seem like it had anything to do with Barry Penner. I know, I know, I didn&#8217;t think it was possible either. But hold on, I&#8217;ll explain. During a recent raid on a grow op, the RCMP came across something a little&#8230; unusual:</p>
<blockquote><p>But they also found about 10 bears that the owner appeared to be using to keep people from stealing any pot plants, said RCMP Sgt. Fred Mansveld.</p>
<p>&#8220;[Officers] soon noticed the bears were docile and tame,&#8221; Mansveld told CBC News.</p>
<p>(&#8230;)</p>
<p>Conservation officers now have to decide what to do about the bears, which might have to be destroyed because they have become too used to human food and contact, police said. &#8211; <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2010/08/17/bc-marijuana-grow-op-bears.html">CBC News</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Okay, so this still doesn&#8217;t really seem like a Barry Penner kind of story. But then I (or more accurately, a clever Barry Penner Superfan that send me an email) got to thinking&#8230; Barry Penner could just take care of the bears! Everyone knows he&#8217;s a friend to <a href="http://www.barrypennerisawesome.com/tag/animals/">all animals</a>, and who couldn&#8217;t use ten ferocious black bears to make sure the neighbourhood kids don&#8217;t steal your newspaper?</p>
<p>So I figured, this is theme week, so I may as well make the case for Barry Penner adopting the ten guard bears the only way I can: posting pictures of Barry Penner with terrifying animals! All this week: Barry Penner and his Animal Enforcers!</p>
