WTF... bear learns to use a door handle.. So shoot it dead.

WTF. And i thought Americans were the blood thirsty ones.

He's smaaaaaaaarter than the a-ver-age bear!

Alternative joke:

Ew, screw this, I'm going to Quiznos. Toasty!

"So they euthanized it"? No further explanation or discussion, just "they euthanized it"?

That's bullshit.

unfortunately, when a bear becomes somewhat accustomed to humans, it then becomes dangerous as it has lost its fear of humans. that is when the bear either needs to be relocated or destroyed.

a few years back, a large black bear started roaming around my neighborhood. it started off harmlessly climbing trees and running away when people stepped out side of their houses. then it started eating out of compost and garbage cans; associating humans with food rather than with natural trepidation. it was relocated 20 km away, but a week later it was back and it started trying to get into houses and even killed a dog. it was destroyed.

its not bull shit when they are destroyed, its just the way it is some times.

In NJ, many problem bears are re-located to the Catskills in NY. They always find their way back to people. I had a 400 lb black bear hanging around, getting within 30 ft. of us. He would relentlessly re-appear at the camp and follow us throughout the day when we went on hikes. Most are harmless, but also have absolutely no fear of humans. Black bears who aren't accustomed to people will never be seen. I stumbled on a den within a 1/4 mile from a camp site. We never saw or heard the animal once during our two week stay. Euthanasia in my opinion is sometimes necessary. And yes, I did poop a little when I first saw the bear.

I'd like to have the job of bear-scarer - making bears afraid of humans again. Not sure how I'd do it though. Allot of popping out of trash cans with a taser I guess.

If a bear learns to search in houses for food you can't just give it some honey and tell it to stop.

...and he didn't even put on a hairnet. Gross.

Awww...the poor bear :*( If the Canadian police are so euthanisia happy, I've got some annoying customers and drivers they can euthanize here. I'm close by too, Washington state.
