just heard a radio report that a Campbell Police officer wacked a 300lb blackbear in the City of Campbell, Mahoning County. Bear weighed 300lbs? Supposedly used a Rifle then coup de gras with pistol.
Just another trigger happy Barney Phife IMO! I could see if the bear was doing damage or something. Just to kill it over some screaming lady and a couple of dogs is ridiculous.
1. a black bear that is roaming around in the heart of suburbia probably does not have much fear of humans, which makes it a very dangerous bear.
2. it takes time to organize a tranq, capture, relocate operation. where would they take it after its drugged and captured? relocated wild animals suffer something on the order of an 80% mortality rate, anyway.
3. what if this bear mauled you or your children or ate your dog while you were waiting on the DOW or local animal control to come with their tranquilizer gun and bear cage?
we'd all rather the bear not get killed like that, but that was probably the smartest thing to do without the luxury of time to make a more appealing plan.
if Barney Fife does NOT shoot the bear and somebody gets hurt or killed should we declare him a bunny hugging liberal pussy or a lazy, irresponsible, doughnut mongering dipshit cop for not pulling the trigger when he should have?
I agree. Young males this time of year are pushed away from their mothers and have to fend for themselves which can take them a long ways from home and to an easier meal. Not necessarily a dangerous bear or one that doesn't have fear of humans. Tranquilizing one does take time though to set up and even a trap, getting one in place could take a long while as well.
If I had a bear in my backyard, around my dogs, I'd want it dead yesterday.

Can't believe the national media hasn't grabbed this . After all , it was a police officer shooting a unarmed black .
