Yeah, I hear he's really popular with the neighbors.

[Revival]

That would be hard to handle. Can you imagine if it was your kid that was chased and your wife that was attacked?

[coonskinner]

hope the guy is outta business and is closely monitored so he never is in this business again...:mischeif:

[TritonBill]

Yea that really sucks for the mom and the daughter! Imagine the fear instilled in that girl of a bear chasing her down.

It sounds like the owner phoned the police right away and this was a very unfortunate accident. To me the owner should have something like a double pen.

[Thunderflight]

Hope he's got good insurance.

[Flaming Arrow]

This is just terrible.

That's 5 minutes from where I hunt.

Hope he's got good insurance.
I agree!!! :irked: He's going to need all that he can get and afterwards I'm sure his insurance company will either raise his rates or drop him. :cheeky-smiley-022:

The overhead view that they showed didn't make the "zoo" look too clean or well kept. I'm guessing that the DNR will be looking over his permits REAL close too.

Good hunting, Bowhunter57

[XX78]

The place looks like a trash heap.

[CStan]

that's unbelievable.

I don't know, I look at it a little different. The guy w/ the animals isn't much different than a farmer. What if some farmer's bull got loose, could the scenero be much different. I doubt you would be able to lure him away w/ a head of cabbage like the girl did w/ the lunch meat & the bear. (Real smart thinking on her part!!!) That was a most unfortunate situation. He did what he was suppose to & even had the nerve to dispose of his own bear. I hope he had insurance too.

sorry but if that was a pit bull or rot weiler...you are in deep doo doo...you must control those animals...he's up the creek without a paddle and can only hope for a faverable settlement...:mischeif:

Civil liability is the least of this guy's worries. If the county prosecuter wants to I'm sure he could find something felonious to charge the guy with. If your pitt bull bites someone you are in more trouble then if your beagle bites someone.

The news just announced that the owner of the bear will face no crimminal charges
