Q: http://www.prairiestateoutdoors.com/index.php?/scattershooting/article/better_bureau_county_bear_picturesThe first sighting was by my old house. the newer ones closer to my current place. was spotted in the woods not more than 1 mile away.Bears are unheard of around here to say the least.Most likely a pet someone turned loose.My next door neighbor was the first to spot him. So do I ………A. Illegally poach the bear and make a rug out of him?B. Feed her my left over veggies so she can hibernate like she should?C. Keep taking pictures like my neighbors and make the area a tourist attraction like Loch Ness.D. Buy a tranquilizer gun on Ebay and take her to Niabi Zoo?E. Let her stay free and hope he doesn’t attack any small children or others (which is rare for Black Bears).F. Capture and sell her to the Chicago Cubs as their Mascot, ala the old Angels Rally Monkey?G. Put her in my ex-wifes car when the kids are at my place? (JK I wouldn’t horrify her like that she might have Cubs in a den to feed).H. Other? Elaborate.I’m a Newspaper Printer and printed the 1st photos of the Bear in the paper as well as having him in my back yard.As you can tell I’m quite bored. I’m hoping you choose option “F”, Go Cubs!Bonus Question who is biggest, The Black Bear, Prince Fielder or CC Sabathia?

A: I don’t believe in Animal Cruelty and keeping a real animal as a mascot to me is Cruelty. I suggest capturing it, make sure you have professionals and a veterinarian nearby, and then releasing it into the wild where it can be with other bears.If my observations are correct I think it is a black bear so it should be virtually harmless but remember that if angered it will want to defend itself.Release it into the wild. Most likely to Missouri near St. Louis so he can eat up the Cardinals >:) LOLEdit: Forgot to answer the BQ since I didn’t read the whole question LOL. I would say Sabathia is the biggest. Zambrano would still shove Cici’s head up Prince(ss) ‘s butt.
