Officers Shoot Bear in Hospital
6/16/2004
ROCKY MOUNT, Va. - A three hundred pound bear walked into a local Rocky Mountain hospital early Tuesday morning, surprising hospital staff and patients. The animal gained access by activating a sensor that opened the doors when it approached.
Two officers trapped the bear in a computer room after it wandered through the hallways.
Officers ended up shooting and killing the animal for fear that the full-grown black bear might get loose.

They shoot bears, don't they?
Somehow makes sense that he was trapped in the computer room. Apparently he was looking at this:
Hey, this is starting to look like a cover up.
Maybe it wasn't his pancreas or gallbladder after all...
Hmmm.
Hopefully, no one was infested with the ass clowns.

Lordy, that would throw Infectious Control off, wouldn't it?
being bitten by bear
By The Associated Press
(7/20/05 - COALDALE, CO) ?- A 14-year-old Texas boy bitten by a bear that entered his tent was recovering Tuesday while state wildlife officers looked for the animal.
Keelan Patton of Pampa, Texas, and a 12-year-old cousin were sleeping at a campground near Coaldale when a black bear barged into their tent about 1 a.m. Patton's mother, grandmother and sister were sleeping in a nearby camper.
After a brief scuffle, the bear took off. The boy was treated for the bite, scratches and bruises and released from the hospital.
Colorado Division of Wildlife officers looked for the bear, which will be killed if found. Division spokesman Mike Seraphin said officers found paw prints around the tent and Patton described other identifying features of the bear.
Jim Aragon, area wildlife manager, said Patton "did everything right."
"He fought back and was able to fend off the bear," Aragon said.
Seraphin said there was no food in the tent that would have attracted the bear. The boy, whose family planned to stay at the campground Tuesday night, said he wanted to see the bear if it was caught.
Bears and people have been clashing more, lately as the animals have begun rooting around for berries and acorns so they can fatten up for hibernation. In Aspen and Snowmass Village, bears have broken into about 20 houses the past week.
Bears that cross paths with people are relocated, but ones that attack people don't get a second chance.
Seraphin said campers need to keep the area clean and store food in coolers in the trunk of a car or suspended from a tree, at least 10 feet from the ground. Garbage should be put in bear-proof containers.
Coaldale is about 15 miles southwest of Denver.

Please do not judge the mighty Polar Bear by the shenanigans of a few errant cousins.
Aside from the mighty Grizzly, no other bear is a match for the dignified and yet not to be trifled with Polar Bear.
Word.
How could anyone shoot this?
