Big Deal...Probably Happens a Couple Times a Week

So someone hits a pregnent woman with their car, flees..........and it's the bear that gets put down?

What's our society coming to?
Shoulda tortured the bear first.

(and then put him back in the woods)

Why exactly did a curious bear have to get euthanized? If merely wanting to take a look at tourists is grounds for euthanasia then practically all of Japan needs to be put down.

The Colorado State Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen, and golfers to take extra precautions and be on the alert for bears while in the Dillon, Breckenridge, and Keystone area.

They advise people to wear noise-producing devices such as little bells on their clothing to alert but not startle the bears unexpectedly.

They also advise you to carry pepper spray in case of an encounter with a bear. It is also a good idea to watch for signs of bear activity.

People should be able to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear droppings.

Black bear droppings are smaller and contain berries and possibly squirrel fur.

Grizzly bear droppings have bells in them and smell like pepper spray.
