MN Spares Bears, Sends Them to a Better Place...

GF&P and MN-DNR are clearly out to keep PP nervous...

Our friends in Minnesota have shown their caring, sensitive side again. They will not euthanize Solo, a one-eared bear who hunkered down with her cubs for the winter under someone's cabin in Eagles Nest Township. Governor Pawlenty was ready with his pardon pen, but the nice folks at Minnesota's Dept. of Natural Resources decided putting down Solo and moving her cubs just wasn't the right thing to do. So, in the Christmas spirit they've decided to turn all three bears into a Christmas present and relocate Mama and babies to an undisclosed location... in South Dakota.

Mrs. Madville Times looks up from her theological studies. "What? We don't have bears in South Dakota."

"We do now." Let's hope they eat mountain lions....
