Meals on Wheels

By Bennett Owen

As the old saying goes, ‘one man’s trash is another bear’s pre-hibernation pig-out…’ I think that’s how the saying goes…

At any rate this pubescent black bear cashed in his meal ticket and took a ride in the back end of a garbage truck, gorging himself so blissfully that he didn’t realize he was being transported from the suburbs into downtown Vancouver, Canada…(the city with the coolest flag in the world)

The 18-month old ‘junk male’ refused to leave the refuse voluntarily so police brought out the tranquilizer pistol…

 

He was then transported back to the wild, where he’s probably still bragging to his buddies.

Slightly more intriguing is this photo from My-West man on the road RJ Burns…taken on his patio. Paws for thought, I’d say…
