Can we start a countdown until somebody takes up a collection for its cubs? Because after all, animals don't have a support system like people do.

A male bear is an "it"?
They had to kill him, before he hacked into their computer system.
To: ZGuy
My first thought was that it was looking for drugs, but it sounds like it was trying to hack the computers. It was probably working with the anti-hunting crowd.

A male bear is an "it"? Yes, in proper English.

Because he was googling for "bear naked ladies".

I can see where the officers were concerned about the danger posed by the bear, but they *did* have it confined in a single room. Seems to me that discharging a firearm inside a hospital should be something they'd consider only as a last resort.

I guess Al Gore forgot to wire the forrest and the bear wanted a Roadrunner connection for improved game-ing.

When bears are killed tragically, do people put human dolls at impromptu shrines?

I'm pretty sure the drywall and flimsy computer room door would have contained an enraged bear. Well Billy, we're sorry your sick Granny was killed by a bear. Since the safety of a bear is more important than the safety of our patients, I'm sure you understand why we had to wait a couple hours until the proper capture and release personnel were available. But in the meantime, the bear got frustrated that he could not get out of the drywalled room he was in and simply went berzerk. Oh well, here's a lollipop to help you thru your loss. But be happy, the bear is safe and sound in his new habitat.

One has to wonder. At least no one said, "The bear was fatally killed by police gunfire". I hear fatally killed too frequently

I hear fatally killed too frequentlyI worked for an outdoors store that had on their liability release form..."including but not limited to death." I always wondered about that one.

The bear wandered down a few hallways and into a computer room, said Lt. Karl Martin of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Two police officers yanked the door shut behind it. I see that jocks are still playing pranks on nerds. ;)
To: ICX
This is Virginia, not California. They're more likely to take up a collection to have it stuffed for the hospital lobby.
