Will take Selfies for food.
Why not sedate it and move it way, way, back into the wilderness?
Although I don’t agree with what these idiots did, why not send it to a zoo?
‘Nature lovers’ are the first to introduce chaos and imbalance to nature.
I entered a state park where ‘Do not feed wildlife’ signs were posted about every 100 ft. Nevertheless, some of our - ahem - friends from NJ were parked and feeding the deer by hand.
I gave a nice long blast on the car horn as I passed and the deer panicked and scattered. The dirty looks from the feeders were a satisfying reward.
When a bear starts taking selfies of itself with people, it’s too much. That bear needs to be put down.
Who knows? It might have started stealing picnic baskets.
This is the next Harambe, right here.
It’s a bear. You can’t trust bears.
It’s a good thing the bear didn’t have a name! There would have been protests all over the country!
Just giving a bear a name makes it a person! Explains why babies that are going to be aborted aren’t given names.
I saw that article too, before I saw it here. But I am glad you posted it.
I think it is terrible that they killed this nice, friendly bear.
They should have captured him live, unharmed and taken it to a zoo.
they made the difficult decision to shoot and kill it.
You couldn’t have called someone who could place the lil fella on a preserve or in a zoo?
Fookin idiots...
That’s a total shame. Idiots who fed it condemned it to death. “A fed bear is a dead bear”. I wish it could have been relocated to a large zoo.
“...so they made the difficult decision to shoot and kill it...”
Well, little friendly bears are sort of like friendly dogs. Why not kill it?
Therapy bear.
Therapy bear.
“Isn’t it a pity.
Isn’t it a crime!”
Its surprising how fast even lower intelligence animals learn that humans can provide food. There is a creek in an urban park nearby where egrets have made a small rookery. The bird spends part of each day just standing on the east end of the fishing area. If you pay it a fish, nearly any creek fish will do, it holds still for you. You can do just about about anything near it eccept touch it and it just waits. Lots of selfie takers with that bird.
Sad story, but probably necessary.
Methhead? Acid junkie? Gangbanger? Pedophile? Nope. Those are welcome in Oregon. Encouraged, even. Those people are sick.
I came as close as I have ever come to a black bear, this past weekend.
Two of them, actually.
Was doing some fishing at a friend’s place “Up North”. at 6 AM, a black bear came wondering through the front yard, nose down, sniffing for something. Walked right passed the front window at a distance of about 20 feet. About 300 pounds.
Three hours later, a LARGE cinnamon-phase black bear came walking the same route, sniffing the same areas as the first. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 pounds!
Up close and personal. Thank goodness for triple pane glass.
