Minnesota Wild defenseman Clayton Stoner is under fire after a picture of him hoisting the severed head of a grizzly bear appeared online. Stoner, 28, appears in an image believed to be taken in May by workers in British Columbias Kwatna estuary, a First Nations village. That photo has angered the Coastal First Nations Bear Working Group, which has instituted a non-government-recognized ban on tribal hunting. Last May, trophy hunters shot and killed a five-year-old grizzly bear, read a media release from the CFN, as per The Province. The bear, nicknamed Cheeky by local field technicians, was skinned and left to rot in a field.

If you are going to go a-hunting for bear, at least show some respect to the one you harvested.
I think that was over the top, hoisting the decapitated bear’s head, as if the hunter were in the movie “Predator”.
Obviously, this character knew nothing about, or cared little, for just how much a knowledgeable hunter can render from a harvested bear.
Gays can ‘marry’ now so what else is there to worry about.

The head will probably be mounted and preserved .
It’ll be around a long time.
Longer than the bear in the wild.
He paid a lot of money to do this.(didn’t cost me anything)That money goes to their version of the Department of Natural Resources.
What he does with the meat is not my business.
This should be a bigger story:

I agree with your submission, opn what should be a bigger story, indeed!
Would that be a reference to the person in MN, or to me for taking the time to care about what the MN protestor protested about? Possibly both. I’ll confess if the MN person will. ;-)
Shades of Tom Bombadil.
Thanks. I didn’t know that. ...Sure. They put poles up and they had a bear dance. Didn’t you ever hear of Poler bear dances? Sheesh.
that hunk of bear will feed hundreds of critters, from bugs worms and other predators....who ever wrote this didn’t know anything about how nature cleans up the earth of the dead...rot is good to lots of different critters.
