Dear Editor:
I am quite upset by the Sheriff deputy killing this juvenile black bear for no legitimate reason whatsoever!
This bear was not threatening or endangering a human. How horrible and calloused you are. You never even cared to haze him or tranquilize him to release into a deeper part of his natural habitat.
Where are bears suppose to exist to be safe? I care. I love wildlife and you commit this heartless act when this bear was doing no wrong? Disgusting.
The video is heartbreaking for a bear freshly out of hibernation doing what bears were meant to do. You were wrong and God knows you were wrong.
What is this world coming to?
