Why not sedate it and move it way, way, back into the wilderness?

It would probably never survive. Like turning out a house pet into the wild.
Idiot people did that animal no favors.
The 100-lb bear was between 2 and 3 years old and could’ve been relocated if it hadn’t grown so accustomed to human contact, Rick Swart of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife told CNN.
Wisconsin did that for a bear that had developed a love for baseball (hot dogs?) and started bringing her cubs to the games. (I never heard an update on her.)
It would either not survive, or come back to where it was taken from.
The saying, in circles that know, is “A fed bear is a dead bear”.
There isn’t that much “way, way, back in the wilderness” anymore and the cost of relocating a bear is a lot. If the taxpayers are willing to pay for it.
