Two men in Ontario are facing heated backlash after taking a lone black bear cub on a 10-hour drive to Windsor and feeding it fast food from Taco Bell ., Myriam Amstrong, said that the duo found the bear in the middle of the road while driving near Cochrane, Ont.
The men decided to put the bear in the back of their vehicle, drove it to Windsor, and stopped to feed it tacos from Taco Bell on the way. "We actually took the bear from the back of their van and they were pretty pleased that they brought the bear down here and that they were feeding him Taco Bell," Amstrong said.The rescue centre took the bear in over the Labour Day weekend, and transferred the cub to a bear rescue organization in Huntsville on Sunday.
Although Amstrong says the rescue team did not identify any obvious injuries on the four-month-old bear, the cub was"lethargic" and"stressed" after being in a vehicle for 10 hours."We're assuming the bear was likely hit on the road at some point. It wasn't hurt on the surface, like we couldn't see any obvious injuries," she said. "He was just a little bit off. So we just made sure to give him lots of space and a dark place to decompress.
"You can always call the shelters or the police or anybody who has some authority that can connect you to the right people."Canada just got a new rectangular $20 coin based on controversial storyOntario's second-tallest structure will soon be demolishedWarmer than normal temperatures ahead in Ontario's fall 2024 forecast
