There is only one answer to problem bears. All the tranquilizers and transportation and relocation is a big waste of time, money and effort.

It knew where to find food. It knew how to get back there when it was taken to a different location. But it didn’t know how to look both ways before it crossed the street.

Of course they have arms! How else can they steal pic-a-nic baskets, Boo Boo?

Obviously you've never heard of the right to bear arms...

Maybe now Shephed Smith will stop showing the video of the bear falling out of the tree. He plays it constantly, apparently for the ‘fun’ value of watching the bear fall and bounce.

Unfortunately, officials are not willing to do what the real solution is.

That's why I believe in the Right to Arm Bears.
