Gordon Buchanan Helps Abandoned Bear Cub - The Bear Family and Me - BBC Two

More about this programme: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00x9zjk
Hope has been abandoned by her mother Lily. Against all odds she has survived on her own in the woods, but she should still be with her mother for another whole year. Gordon Buchanan and scientist Dr. Lynn Rogers, aim to gain her trust so that they can attach a specially made radio collar around her neck. This will mean that they can find her in the vast forests of Minnesota to supplement her mother's milk, keeping her in the wild and out of captivity.

Every hunt is senseless & without honour. Hunting is wrong. Sick. Evil. I don't care what people say about it being an 'interest' like soccer or whatnot. It's a disgusting one&any form of hunting should be illegal. If someone thinks it is for 'population control' - that's ridiculous. How many humans are on this earth? 7 BILLION & COUNTING! And it's cruel, unfair &unjust too - it's not like all 7 billion have equal wealth etc. Ridiculous. Let nature take its course in the animal world - W/O GUNS!

@68liayn I have to agree about the baiting...that is not hunting...

not to mention Sue and all she did to save that little girl

I find it amazing that Hope was even more comfortable with Gordon, allowed him more access even than Dr Lynn. She obviously decided Gordon was her human. So sad to see her gone. I can't imagine how Gordon feels.

blessings & love little one....BTW, it was mentioned a day ago in a comment Hope was shot & killed on the 23rd of Sept. [this week],....however, for the record it was finally confirmed yesterday, Tues. 27 Sept, from the hunter,he admitted that he shot & killed Hope when she came into his bait site 12 days earlier, on Friday night 16 September 2011....so very sad...she was still nursing with her Mother & younger sibling, therefor, IMHO....her killing this year was sensless & without any honor.

How can anyone shooting an animal call it sport ? how is that a sport ???? It's 2011 Have we learned nothing ? Sad that any animal dies to make a trophy for someone to hang on their wall :(

Hope has been shot and killed by a hunter who lured her with bait, and then picked her off. What a coward. No words can convey my disgust, as it seems he targeted her specifically. See Lily the Black Bear on Facebook. Very, very saddened.
