Words Like Locusts Flew From Her Fingers

Minnesota DNR Planning To Kill Harmless Bear

Duluth News Tribune | Some Northland residents can’t bear thought of euthanizing sleeping bear
Some residents of a northeastern Minnesota township just can’t bear the thought that the Department of Natural Resources would give Solo a permanent hibernation.

The DNR says that Solo, a one-eared black bear blissfully hibernating with her two cubs underneath a private cabin, has become too familiar with humans in Eagles Nest Township. But many of those humans have put out food for Solo and like having her and other bears around.

Those DNR bastards!

The article goes on to explain that the cabin isn’t even occupied. The only reason the DNR knows about Solo is because Lynn Rogers (bear expert) asked the owner of the unoccupied cabin for permission to put a camera in place for the purpose of observing Solo during her hibernation.

Instead of simply saying “no”, the asshole cabin owner called the DNR to have them “remove” Solo and her cubs. The DNR interprets “remove” to mean kill Solo.

I met Solo when she was still a cub. She’s a wonderful bear — very sweet — and she’s not a danger to anyone who uses common sense around wild animals.

It’s absolutely unconscionable that the DNR would kill this bear for no reason other than that she chose the “wrong” place to hibernate.

Fucking bastards.

I hope there’s some way the North American Bear Center folks can get to Solo and move her and the cubs somewhere safe before the DNR ASSHOLES get to her.
