3 Footed Bear In My Garden!

PATMAN · 22-03-2008, 02:03 PM

A few years ago a bear came to visit my bird feeder, which is common in the summer.

Even though it was dark, I could tell there was something wrong with this bear.
It had a limp.

So I took some pictures outside my dining room window.
After looking at them, I could clearly see this poor bear was missing a foot!

I don't know how it happened, since they don't trap bears here.
But it could still run away quickly when I accidentally scared it!

unless it was born like that think of the pain the poor thing went through, just imagine if one of us lost a foot and had no medical aid, it does look to be managing ok could it have been ilegal trapping or maybe it was shot, are they considered a pest over there, it must be lovely to see them we have to make do with zoos, mind you as I already feed quite a few wildlife a bear would be a real strain on the old finances.
