'Irresponsible and potentially deadly.'
Wednesday, April 17, 2024 11:33PMNeighbors at an apartment complex in North Carolina were left shocked Tuesday when they caught video of a group of people pulling bear cubs from a tree to take selfies.received video from witnesses showing the group pulling the black bear cubs from a tree, holding one of the cubs and taking a selfie.
Ashley Hobbs, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission special projects biologist told WLOS the video was reported to the commission Tuesday evening. She said even though multiple cubs were seen in the video, she only saw one at the scene."We did see the video in response to the bear being left alone," she said. "We do think that the bear probably had a pretty traumatic experience.
Hobbs said during this time of year it is common for female bears to leave their cubs in a safe tree and come back. She added that pulling a cub from a tree is traumatic. "We did follow up with the people who pulled the bear out of the tree," she said. "We did confront them on site that day and let them know how irresponsible and potentially deadly it could be for that cub to be separated from its mom, especially ripped out of a tree like that."Copyright © 2024 WTVD-TV.
