A young black bear was shot and killed by state officials after becoming so habituated to humans that the public could get close enough to take selfies with him.

Starting June 4, Washington County Sheriff's Office and the Oregon Department of Fish began receiving calls and seeing social media posts with the bear in the popular Scoggins Valley Park near Henry Hagg Lake.

Tuesday evening, deputies from the sheriff's office and Oregon State Police were dispatched to the area after receiving two calls about the bear, and sent a tweet asking the public to stay away.

But with 90-degree temperatures drawing boating crowds, the bear had been given food all week long.

Complete BS, the bear was completely harmless, how are we suppose to interact with wild animals if the government makes it illegal to interact with them?

The government doesn't know what's best for us, the government doesn't know what animal is dangerous and what isn't. The US Fish and Wildlife should be abolished, they are nothing more then closet Nazis claiming they are doing what's best for US citizens in the name of "environmentalism."

I must be tired already. Read title as young bear fed humans

People get bitten by dogs every year, I know first hand I got bitten pretty badly by a dog. Bears are no more dangerous than dogs.

I believe that interacting with wild animals and even keeping them as pets is a fundamental right (see link). Even though there is millions of evidence that prove wild animals can be domesticated and be kept as pets, and behave more docile than your typical domestic dog, the government still makes it illegal because they listen to those wacko environmentalists.

Yeah, okay Roy.

Bears are immune to rabies except Koalas.

You know why they had to do it right? They get too used to people, and they think "Hey maybe I can host my own TV show" Then this happens....

It's not safe for wild animals to get used to humans. Should have taken it to a zoo or even better a nature reserve thing. Bull shit to kill it

Better yet that bear should have been given to a private citizen someone who is willing to take care of the bear, oh but that's illegal.

If we could really domesticate bears or mountain lions we could stop home burglaries dead in their tracks.

We all know dogs are worthless, right @The_Doge ?

If you raised a wild animal since birth it's already domesticated. If you have a bond with a wild animal that you keep as a pet, it's already domesticated.

It would be so metal to have a jaguar as a pet. Or even a big ass lion so I can ride it around like a fucking horse

TC, please tell us how to do this. I KNEW I should have picked Pet Pal so I could talk with animals

You go to a state where it's legal own wild animals such as Nevada and Oklahoma. Oklahoma has one of the lax laws to owning wild animals. You just get a license which cost you like $48 and you are good to go.

The government are fucking assholes. They just love to meddle and mess peoples lives up.

That is the single most idiotic thing I have read in a long, long time.

couldnt they just take the bear into protection

why do you people have to kill it
---

Because killing it is the easy lazy way to solve the problem. So of course that is what they do

Black bears are timid and non-aggressive, very rare they actually attack humans. On the other hand 4.7 million dog bites happen each year, some have resulted to be fatal or serious injuries. I know I have gotten bitten by a dog before and it wasn't serious, but I had a deep puncture on my arm and it cost a lot of money just to get my arm healed.

Let me guess the only animals we can keep as pets is what the government allows right? Because forget thinking outside the box, even though the government have proven to be hypocrites; ie they want to protect wild animals but prevent people from interacting and keeping wild animals as pets, or kill wild animals because they have interacted with people too much.

The young black bear that was killed people were taking selfies with it along with people feeding it, the black bear showed no aggression whatsoever. Try taking selfies with a rottweiler dog and most likely that rottweiler dog will bite you. Give that rottweiler dog food it still start mauling people until they give them food. I know I've seen it first hand.

Whether someone decides to interact with a wild animal is their decision, but it shouldn't be illegal. The problem is when the state comes in and kills an animal for some ridiculous reason in the name of "protecting the environment" such as this case with the bear.

Your account is at least 9 years old, and assuming you were 13 when you made it you're 22 now, you can't be making such moronic comments like these at your age holy shit

You guys complain now, but as soon as that bear starts thinking it's people, it'll get itself a tie and start stealing your picnic baskets.
---

Lol, what the hell?

If bears love or attack humans they get killed. Like damn, cant win.
---

Thats inexcusable imo. No reason they couldnt tranquilize and relocate. Sometimes these cops just want an excuse to use their guns and kill things

This has nothing to do with me I am 27 btw, it's just the government's view on owning exotic pets is 100% wrong. And I can say that for certain.

Ex-Kefiroth posted...

Feeding bears/wildlife is ****ing stupid, and anyone who did that is 100% to blame for the outcome.

When bears learn that humans are a source of food, it leads to attacks and they become a danger to the public.

Only because the government has you conditioned to believed that.

Yes, teaching people to interact with animals that will typically viciously maul them is a good idea, TC.

Oh wait,

It's a fucking moronic idea.

I'm not saying that. I'm saying that people should be free to interact with any animal they want (if they choose to do), and people should be free to own any animal they want in their own property. keyword property.
