No game wardens kill the bear.
Park Ranger or Warden shot the bear, bear escaped. Huge swath of Stokes and the AT are closed right now cause the ninnies don’t want the liability of having an injured bear which hunts humans on the loose in their jurisdiction.
Park office refused offers from (qualified and with valid 2011 bear hunt license) volunteers to track the bear, not even to shot it.
So meh. As per usual, blame Corzine and Lisa P Jackson for this.
