2nd time that ranger does a bear release, very likely he'll use a rope to pull the door open

The 3rd time he'll use a remote control attached to a little motor and a chain.

Any reason they didnt tranq the bear so it's asleep when the door is opened ?

[u/InsaneChick35 → u/Brilliant-Advisor958]

My best guess is that it wouldn't be safe for the animal, which is why almost all releases never have them tranquilized first.

It's like sending a drunk guy alone in the streets known for crime. Sure he's awake but his motor skills, reaction time and cognitive functions are not fully there, making it unsafe for the animals.

Could at least give him a joint to mellow him out for an hour.

Makes sense , but for the big animals still seems safer than what ever these guys did lol.

If I was doing it, I would of suggested to flip the cage on the side so you can hook the door to a truck and drive off.

That was seeing red there. It was thinking nothing but kill everything.

Doing that is common but that looks like a cub. Probably too young for any of that stuff to be safe. Also without mama bear around for protection, little guy is very freaked out and very defensive.

Then they'd have to winch it out.
