    The bear isn’t “ungrateful”. That’s a human emotion which cannot be ascribed to a wild animal, who to be fair is probably coming out of an anesthesia, who does not understand he is being rescued, or saved, or whatever.
    Nothing that happened here is the bear’s fault.
    I only hope the bear didn’t have to pay the ultimate price for human mistakes.
    Go Bear!

    My stepfather works for Fish & Game in Oregon. I sent him the link for this and he recognized the pictures. He sent me the following:

    Here’s the whole story. Happened in Montana in 1987. Bears dead!

    To see all of the pictures you have to click on the very tiny “next” under Camera of “Grizzly Attack Caught on Camera”.

    i agree with aeptah. imagine if you were stuck in a cage, out of your element with no idea what’s going on around you? next time you go to the zoo, try to understand what the animals are feeling. do they really look happy in that enclosure, or are they on drugs? except when the zookeepers are saving endangered animals, i don’t think zoos are a good idea.

    Would you kids have preferred the DFW people had left the bear where it was to continue killing sheep and cows? Eventually a farmer would have shot it. Those underpaid people were, A: just doing their job, 2: Trying to put the poor bear in a new home where it could live in the environment it’s supposed to. Usually these releases go well. This one didn’t.
