Still Waters Posted April 23 #1 Share Posted April 23 There are few things more appealing than young fluffy animals. From kittens to puppies they are guaranteed to make people say “aww”. However, when it comes to the wild version of young animals they are always best admired from a distance. In an incident in North Carolina, a group of people were witnessed and filmed pulling two black bear cubs out of the low branches of a nearby tree to take selfies with the animals, which is a definite no-no. On April 18, the North Carolina Wildlife Agency responded to a call to assist the Buncombe County Sheriff’s Department, after a witness filmed the group of six people dragging the bear cubs out of a tree and taking selfies with them. On arrival, they were told that both cubs had managed to escape from the group, with one cub having reportedly bitten someone. One of the cubs was found and later taken to a rehabilitation center while the other has not been found yet. https://www.iflscience.com/people-caught-on-camera-dragging-bear-cubs-out-of-tree-to-take-selfies-73913 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+joc Posted April 23 #3 Share Posted April 23 (edited) That isn't ignorance. That is just blatant, unbridled stupidity. What adult is unaware that you should never jack with a bear cub? Want to encounter the most ferocious and unforgiving force in nature? Jack with a bear's cub! Edited April 23 by joc 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
