it reminded me of the 3 stooges ,the police lieutenant was worried about the crowd ,hey if they're stupid enough to stand there,some with their kids they deserve to be eaten,was there no rescue air bags available? who's the einstein who brought the fishing net and they wonder what killed it? maybe THE FALL

oh and BTW - 5 stars to the poster for showing this nice live video and not the video of his being killed which is on the local news websites.

i cant believe the DEC killed this creature...........is everyone sure? about this?

[tanglewoodinn]

oh yes - believe me its true. First we had a media circus for hours with hundreds of ppl milling about, then the best solution was to shoot him with a tranquilizer and try to catch him with a net which he fell right through and bounced on his head and was killed in front of everyone. Of course the death was played over & over on the local news. Looks like the New York state DEC is just as inept as the Senate is.

Very sad that this bear died due to the incompetence of people trying to save it....

[kiggy150]

i am so outraged at the DEC that they did not use a better tactic to get the bear down fromt he tree before bringing him to it's death

[skyfire1008]

Yes, the DEC didn't know what they were doing. They SUCK!!!  They killed the bear.

[StigmaNYC]

[Jibahyiska]

is this the bear that climbed a tree, and fools were not patient enough to let it down before shooting it and let it fall on its head to die??!

[27thebigm]
