This story just made me sad. A bear had its head stuck in a jug and then it got gunned down in its prime.
Minnesota wildlife officials tried for six days to capture a bear that had a plastic jar stuck over its head, but ended up killing the animal after it wandered into a city during a festival.
The wild black bear — whose head got stuck inside a 2½-gallon clear plastic jug presumably while foraging for food — ambled into the city of Frazee, about 200 miles northwest of the Twin Cities, during the town’s busy Turkey Days celebration.
“When it got into town, our main concern was public safety,” said Rob Naplin, the Department of Natural Resources’ area wildlife supervisor in Park Rapids.
While the bear could breathe, it couldn’t eat or drink and was likely suffering from dehydration and hunger. “I’m sure there was high anxiety and frustration with its predicament,” Naplin said.
In the six days that followed the initial sighting of the bear, officials tried to trap it and tranquilize it in numerous locations, but to no avail.
By the time the animal showed up in Frazee, conservation officers decided it needed to be killed to avoid conflicts with humans.
“Oh bother,” said the bear, before being shot in the f’ing face by some assholes whose job it is to catch wildlife yet can’t stop a BEAR WITH A JAR ON ITS HEAD. Seriously, how impotent do you have to be to not be able to stop a bear with a jar on its head? You could probably just have one guy kneeled over behind him and then shove him over. HE HAS A JAR ON HIS HEAD.
I am curious though as to how the bear got the jar on his head. Did he really go after some honey, like I’d assume? Or maybe he wandered into a jar factory and the jar was built around his head? Or maybe he was born that way? Perhaps he’s a supervillain, a bear version of Spiderman’s enemy Mysterio? This bear’s death leaves a lot of unanswered questions. And uneaten picnic baskets. Enjoy your sandwiches while they last, you bastards.

Wait a minute, they couldn’t get a clear shot with a dart, while the bear was stumbling around in the woods, so they had to use bullets in the city? That’s bullshit anyway, since I would assume a clear shot with a rifle is a clear shot with a tranquilizer gun, but why the fuck would they wait until the thing is ambling around people to use live ammo? Were they hoping for collateral damage? And is that a real picture of the bear? Are you really telling me some douch photographer is a better shot than the cop carrying the tranquilizer? Who the fuck is the sheriff of this town, Barney Fife?

Yeah, that’s supposedly the bear. My sentiments exactly. Something tells me they just didn’t want to take the effort to kill a bear or weren’t equipped with tranq darts so they just thought it was logical to kill it in a driveby. Poor bear.

Ok, let me get this straight; you mean to tell me the Minnesota Wild Life, which is a branch of the state, which is subsidized by the Federal Wild Life entity, didn’t even have a tranquilizer dart -or a fucking fish net for crying out loud. A black bear with a plastic muzzle -opps I meant jar- over its whole damn head, should’ve been protected from it’s own self, let alone a pack of worthless, ass-fucking-holes of lame-duck wild life officials. The Feds should investigate this nonsensical foolishness.
