This is such bs as they should not have shot it in the first place. Cops have again created a public threat by there own incompetence and shooting without real reason cause some cop was probably scared. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ WHY YOU CALL POLICE DNR Capt. Greg Salo said shooting a bear with a tranquilizer dart, then transporting it elsewhere is mostly Hollywood fiction, and sometimes shooting a bear is the only real option. Heres why: -Chemical immobilization requires special equipment, training and access to controlled substances. Most DNR staff don’t have that. -The effect of the tranquilizer is not immediate, so a darted bear could run into a crowd or a busy street before passing out. -Finding a suitable place for relocation can be a challenge. Once a bear is habituated to human derived food, it is likely to repeat this feeding behavior if released elsewhere. -Sometimes bears don’t recover from the tranquilizing “A public safety threat is a public safety threat, whether it’s a guy wielding a knife or a startled or frightened large mammal with big teeth and sharp claws in a neighborhood with lots of kids,” said Capt. Greg Salo. “Your first call should be to the local police department. No one likes to see these animals killed just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but sometimes that’s the only real option.”
