English term or phrase: maul
the care bears maul at the campers...
French translation:attaquer, multiler, lacérer, tripoter
Explanation:
"Maul" isn't usually followed by "at". Maul can mean to attack savagely. It can also have a sexual connotation (paw at). "Stop mauling me!" It's difficult without more context. Can you provide more?

Bisounours


Explanation:
You may already know this, but the Care Bears are called \"Bisounours\" in French. It\'s hard to say, without more context, what the author is trying to say here. It could mean any number of things.
