"That wildlife biologist shot the bear a second time and killed it."

Technically, the biologist -killed- it.
Why didn't he "rescue and rehabilitate" it instead?
After all, if bears are just cuddly critters who mean no harm to humans, it shouldn't have been too hard to capture and take to a vet.

The one poster was dead on though.
Whatever possessed him to make that call?

Shoot, shovel, shut up.

After the encounter Enright called for help and a Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist tracked the bear to a tree about 100 yards into the woods. That wildlife biologist shot the bear a second time and killed it. Fish and Wildlife Officer Dan Christensen now officially questions whether Enright was in imminent danger when he shot the bear.

So, will we see a charge of "Unlawful Hunt Big Game 2nd Degree: Closed Bear Season." filed against the Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist? Or is there a 'biologist' exception to the hunting laws? The biologist clearly tracked and then shot the animal. Evidently the animal was not threatening the biologist's life or property. There's no evidence that the biologist was in imminent danger when he shot the bear. Sounds like hunting to me...

lol, yea maybe they should charge the biologist with 'unlawful hunting'... and maybe do a background check on him too for some juevy 'crimes'. :)
