I live in the Atlanta suburbs, about half-way between Atlanta and Athens.
A (small) black bear was hit in traffic on I-85 near here
a few years back and it caused all kinds of uproar.
(the enviro whacko’s were weapin’ and wailin’
and gnashing their teeth)
They were more worried about the fate of the bear
than that of the injured humans.
It’s like the dead trees that are mourned for by the eco-nuts.

Might be the same bear I remember reading about. Gwinnett?
