This is tough to swallow. I doubt the Taser electrodes could penetrate the fur to the point that they would contact the bear's hide.

You must not have noticed the hair on those gang members in East LA.

They only need to be within 1/5 inches of the skin to work. Penetration is nice, but not required.

Yeah, I don't buy it either. Bears are tough critters, even small ones, and have lots of hair and thick hides. An adult Florida Black Bear would stand head high to a man, run 300-500 pounds. I sure wouldn't hunt one with a taser. 12 feet is way too close to a mad Black Bear. Give me a 12 ga.
