The Bear At The Bar

Stevo · May 26, 2011

A young(2 yr. old) bear found its way into a fairly urban area outside of my workplace. It probably got kicked out by Mom, and was trying to figure out this crazy world. At one point, I was about 5 feet away, and backed off a bit.

Very cool Stevo... What is his status now?

Someone needs to do the bear a favor

Get a stick and make him very, very afraid of humans. Probably save his life in the long run. May keep someone from getting killed or crippled too.
I hate cruelty to animals, but this bear has already come into contact with humans and if he/she is to live to adulthood, he/she needs to be very wary of people.

I called 911 to let them know about it, and they said it had been there all day, yesterday. I'm off from work for the next 2 days, so who knows where it will go.

I was thinking the same thing, JM. The Duluth-Superior area is surrounded by woods. The local wildlife often acclimates to whatever safety and food is available. Bobcats, moose, wolves, deer and mountain lions all inhabit this area and show themselves, occasionally. When forage is scarce, the bears come into town and hit the apple trees and garbage cans. Most of the other bears I've encountered usually can't get away fast enough.
