Did i hear right that this was in PA?I am ashamed...I am a PA bear hunter "we got 2 monday" These people and cops were obviously city slickers..All who shot that bear should be arrested and fined and the cops should lose their jobs for not making all those people leave while the bear was still in the tree....They should have made everyone go home.....That was totally out of control with city slickers everywhere screamin and hollerin like that... Unfuckingreal that they shot it dead...holy fuck

There is no fucking reason to shoot at a bear if it was heading for its home. What the fuck is that? Black bears aren't even harmful animals (there are a few exceptions). I have run into black bears MANY times (been within 10 feet) and watched them for hours on end, they are harmless and very timid. This bear was scared out of it's mind and just wanted to get away. Bunch of hick police officers.

are you kidding me yonder101 "Bears, and Mountain Lions attack and kill Deer, and other animals." They need to eat to. Did you ever hear of the food chair. You probably eat animals too. So you can say NOTHING about that poor bear that was running away and already tranquilized. He would of ran into the woods and fell asleep. then they could of sent him to where ever they needed to. It was all bull shit.

the bear was headin towards the woods, should have let him go. I could see if he made the slightest move towards them or the crowd, but he didnt. If he did, then go ahead and empty your clips. But that little bucker was headin for the hills.

cops did the right thing. that bear could have run straight towards the people standing there.

Yeah, I agree. I'm in Northeastern California. And I've seen them in around my house as well. I'd do the same thing, except I wouldn't sell the meat (but I'd sell the skin). Also, not many people actually realize that bears are alot more afraid of humans, then humans are of a bear.

Yonder101: no problem. I live in southwest Florida and we have black bears. Don't get me wrong, if one was in my backyard and I thought for one moment my family was in any danger, I'd shoot him dead & sell the meat (but I'd keep the skin!). You're right, don't know from a vid exactly what occured, but it's obvious they shot it with darts and it was running into the woods.

lol well i retract my statement in calling you a hippy. Looks like we sit in the same boat. Is all I am trying to say here, is that all we see is what's on camera. Therefore, you or I dont know whether it was the right thing to do or not.
