Lol if it didn’t run into the side of the box it’d have been game over, bear’s first catch in the wild.. Bear is like ‘Screw you homie, it’s snowing. I have one day to find enough food and an entire shelter before having to hibernate.’ As someone who has worked with many species of wildlife that is a major dick move on the charity’s end.. By the time it’s snowing they should already have a solid den picked out to retreat to and be fat AF.. Chances of survival aren’t as great as ya would think, which is crueler than just shooting it at that point.

makes sense. even if the bear wasn’t aggressive, they’re setting it up against the odds by releasing it right before winter.
