ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — A local group of activists is outraged after a black bear was recently seen in Asheville with a political sticker on its collar.
"Help Asheville Bears" (HAB) is offering a $5,000 reward for anyone who can find out who put a 'Trump 2020' sticker on the bear’s collar.
Sheila Chapman tells News 13 the black bear wandered onto her front porch in North Asheville on July 31 when she noticed something colorful on its collar.
{snip}"We have so many places in this world to put stickers and express our political views," Chapman says. "Using a wild animal for that is cruel and inhuman. It’s not OK."

“Rich irony. The bear lady says it’s cruel and heartless to put a Trump sticker on a bear’s collar but she mentions nothing about metal studs stapled into it’s ears.”
Yogi is a punk rocker?
“I said the perp was about 4 1/2 feet tall, weighs about 400 lbs, is black, and very hairy.”
Why was rep Al Green there?
“shouldn’t animals have the right to vote,”
They already vote in blue states.
Many good ones on this thread, but I am voting your's the best!
I want to shake the hand of the man who put Trump stickers on bears.
Whoa, you can keep and arm bears?
And have their four year olds scream “F#@k Trump! F&*k the police!”
Did they first rule out the fact that the bear may have put the sticker on himself?
The good folks over at thedonald.win are having a field day with this!
Those aggrieved people need to get a grip.
Unless they’ve recently learned to read, the bears probably don’t care what the sticker says. Though, if they could read, they’d get a kick out of a sticker that said, “Does a bear sh*t in the woods?”
That being said, I am guessing that whoever put that sticker on is not the official wildlife authority who put the collar on, presumably to track the bear for scientific purposes (if it is, well that does present a problem).
So if it was not an official act, I’d be concerned about who did this and just how, exactly, were they able to subdue the bear enough to be able to put the sticker on? That seems criminal to me, not only tampering with an officially sanctioned science project but also abusing wildlife.
