What is the issue here? Man wants bear to go away, he chooses pellet gun, bear goes away. Just looking at what actually occured, the man was no fool he made the call while at the point where the rubber met the road. He may have been lucky but the situation unfolded as he thought it would, right up to the point when a lawyer showed up.While I disagree with wasting taxpayer dollars on an animal cruelty charge, I still think that anybody who shoots a bear with a pellet gun is a fool. The fact that the prosecutor in this case happens to be an anti-gun idiot is irrelevant. Hopefully the charges will be dropped, and the attorney fees already paid out by the fool with the pellet gun will serve as a deterrent to such stupidity in the future.
A fool would be the guy talking out his rear a month later, from 100 miles away, making assumption after assumption. That would be stupidity.
OBTW, think about taking a bear by archery, if this pellet case is cruelty then I am guilty for shooting game with a broadhead, it takes 5-25 minutes for the animal to bleed out and die. Shot placement is everthing.
