UNDBIZ Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Turns out they had to euthanize the bear after catching it. Unfortunate. Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Did they name the bear so we can start a hashtag movement if the bear dies? Quote

Siouxperfan7 Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Ridiculous the social media outrage over a bear being euthanized. You would think they shot it 20 times in the head and then another 10 times after it fell 90 feet to the ground all in front of a bus full of kindergartners!!! 1 Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 isn't going to the greenway or parks to see nature...birds, squirrels, deer, or bears? Quote

Or something more useful: The general public needs to listen to the police and what "stay away" means so a bear doesn't have to spend 15+ hours not eating and being stuck in a tree for significant periods of time. 1 1 Quote

TheFlop Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 All this outrage because an animal died in city limits instead of making it another couple months so a hunter could shoot him instead. Ridiculous. 1 Quote

Siouxphan27 Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 The police need to annunciate better. Most of those people standing around thought they had said beer in the tree. 1 1 Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 http://www.grandforksherald.com/opinion/letters/4474655-letter-bear-didnt-deserve-death-sentence ITS"S A FREAKING BEAR!!!! This is what happens when people try to humanize animals. The writer says: "Sometimes I'm ashamed to be a member of the humas race". Give me a break. If it bothers you that much, go live with the bears and maybe they can accept them into their community so you can warm them about the evil city of Grand Forks that kills you if you wander into city limits!!

Perhaps we should just shoot every bear or deer or whatever that wanders inside city limits? We need to learn how to deal with these things because it can and will happen again. Quote

You mean like ignore them so they can be ushered out of town safely instead of having 100+ people show up, turn the whole thing into a spectacle that causes the end result of the animal being put down? And I've seen tons of deer in town and not once heard of one being euthanized so I'm not sure why that's being tossed out there. Little bit of a difference between a bear and deer, one is a legitimate public safety hazard, the other might run into a car. Quote
Cratter Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Everyone knows tranquilizers and a trampoline get a bear out of a tree safely everytime! Quote
