I hope they find the jerk that killed the bear and whoever put it on the bench. this is not funny it is very very sick. the person or people need to be locked up for a very long time to protect the rest of us.

If the bear was dead to begin with and someone did it as a prank on the bench like a drunk passed out hobo, that is funny but not if they went out to kill a bear for the prank. It could’ve been hit by a car or something. Feel sorry that a black bear died either way but I would need to know the cause of death and to be sure the prankster wasnt involved with the death for the prank to pass judgement on them.

It’s just so unfortunate that after clawing his way into higher education it ended this way.
