This will break your heart
I just took this about 45 minutes ago.....poor little fellah. A two-year-old black bear...hit by some asshole speeding.


He was still warm when I touched him.

I was having a hard enough time not crying (my son is up now and I don't want him to feel guilty) and now this! There are precious few of these beautiful creatures and now this.

7. At the very least I hope the asshole speeder
has some major damage to their car. It's what they deserve for speeding and not stopping.

13. I'm thankful that our local police/wildlife officers get just as pissed as
I do when they see shit like this. It's good to have officials that care for and respect the animals.

15. Was it on a curve or straightaway?
Any bushes around? The bear could have darted out suddenly, so it may not have been the driver's fault. I think bears are slower than deer, but it still may have been an unaviodable accident.
