they it to a zoon Why didn’t Because it is extremely expensive to do.

One needs to find a zoo that can handle a adult wild bear.

Then one needs to house until it is transported it there.

All this takes a lot of time and money.

Until Grizzlies start to show a DECENT ATTITUDE, I have no problem with taking them out.

Kind of sad. A grizzly just being a grizzly gets him killed.

I thought I was going to read that the bear tipped a dumpster on himself and was crushed, like you hear about with people and vending machines.

Me too! Or porta-potties. Not that I would wish such fate on a bear, but I disappointed on account of the clickbait title.

Whatever they were, they were NOT bear-proof.

Bears are fairly intelligent creatures. I saw a video clip a few years that said bear traps had to be redesigned/reconfigured every so often because the bears knew how to prevent triggering the trap or learned how to escape.

Dumpster tipping?

“Disgusting. Why didn’t they take it to a zoo.”


Typically each bear gets three chances, the bear gets sedated and relocated twice. The third time it’s euthanized. That’s how it works here (I live north of YNP) and to get to the southern most town in the county (Gallatin) you have to drive through YNP.

There is only so much space in zoos so not every bear can be saved. The below link is to Montana Grizzly Encounter (which only has so much space) which saves some grizzlies. (It’s just East of my home):

Some folks ARE trying..

I forgot to mention that at 3:39 AM this morning we had our first black rear of the season — it knocked over our bear-proof garbage can and made quite a ruckus!

I have videos of it from two cameras...

They kill a griz for not picking up after himself? But they protect antifa and antifa burns buildings and cars. I think they’ve got it backwards.

I am the last person to be called a animal rights wacko, but this makes no sense.

We Americans pay good money to see this kind of feat on television.

Give the bear a medal, tranquilize him, rag him with a monitor, and then transport him to another part of the park, and let him enjoy life.
