Yesterday around 1:00pm, driving up rt 23 going to the Home Cheapo, I came across a bunch of people standing near a guardrail on the side of the highway(rt 23. A better look and realized that it was a bear, at first I thought it had just been hit, but after stopping and snapping a few pics I could see that it had been dead fo some time. What a shame. It would look better in a roasting pan and on the wall then next to a guardrail.

Euthanization by automobile is part of Stuttering Jon's and the NJDEP's Comprehensive Bear Management Plan.

This is the 5th one I know about on 23. It will get to the point where bears are doing more damage to cars then deer. Once insurance companies start paying out more claims for damage due to bears then we may see some changes...

Yes, It was right in front of Rupperts, on their side of the guardrail, in full view from their dining windows. By the time I pulled my camera out, there was only one young girl there, she was snapping pics on her cell phone, but she didn't say anything to me. I figured I might get an earful, I had a camo hat on, but she never said a word. here's another pic.

It was put down by Riverdale PD
Uh,oh. Time to move the protestors from Vernon to Riverdale.

Why wasn't a veternarian called to try to save the bear?

He only had a broken claw.

The Riverdale cops are a bunch of blood thirsty trophy hunters.

Close route 23, the bears were here first.

They'll have to get an old Teddy Bear, a cross and some artificial flowers and make a roadside memorial.[hihi]

On second thought, I think this may be a conspiracy by the police to shoot innocent bears in different towns to divide and conquer the anti bear hunt wactivists.[rofl][spy]
