Bear chases man after being shot with tranquilliser dart

A man who shot a marauding bear with a tranquilliser gun had an almighty scare when the beast awoke as he approached, and proceeded
to attack him.

The female bear had been injected with a sleep-inducing drug after it appeared near the village of Chorzow in Poland.

Unfortunately for the rangers tasked with capturing the animal, it woke up from its apparent slumber as they came near and gave chase to the man
who had shot it.

Thanks to the efforts of both men, the bear was eventually brought under control. Reports said authorities plan to take it to a local zoo.

The same bear had reportedly been released in a nearby wood three weeks ago, after it was captured near a school in Przemysl.
It is believed that the bear had broken free from a Ukranian wildlife park 25 miles away.

Do not wake a female bear ...... :rofl:

BTW I looked up Chorzow, Poland and it is in the middle of 2,000,000 metropolis so this worked out pretty well for the bear.

6. Well, I'm glad to see they didn't kill her

I absolutely HATE reading/hearing stories where some poor animal ends up losing its life because humans are so fucking stupid.

Although in this case, the humans were trying to help the bear...




PS...and yeah...whenever I see on TV where some idiotic bullfighter or rodeo rider, etc., gets gored or trampled by the animal they're tormenting, I cheer for the animal.
