minnesota wildlife officials suck. after six days of UNsuccessful attempts to remove a plastic water jug from a wild black bear’s head, they decided to SHOOT it. they claim they killed the bear to protect the public. he had a water jug on his head! how could he hurt anyone?
during this whole ordeal, the bear was not able to eat or drink, because duh! he had a jug on his head. he must have been really scared. but they just HAD to kill him. they didn’t want him “knocking over a kid”.
we hope you are in bear heaven now. THIS IS JUST A REMINDER WHY WE SHOULD RECYCLE AND NOT THROW OUT 2 1/2 GALLON PLASTIC WATER JUGS INTO THE WOODS!
What the hell? I guess people in Minnesota are fucking morons because just off the top of my head (and I’m no wildlife expert), couldn’t they have just tranq’d the bear, and cut the jug off? That would take all of what… 10 minutes maybe?
they tried to tranquilize the bear several times, but apparently it “didn’t work”.
I also made a post about this. The fact that they could shoot effectively enough to kill the bear, but not well enough to tranquilize him, is completely unacceptable.
