Oh sad. She seems to have mastered the art of the side-eye. I hope the hunter had the decency to eat the remains.

I grew up about 35 miles from where Hope was born. Although a majority of the hunters in this area do eat their prey, there are a few (as everywhere) who hunt just to show disdain toward the rules set down by society. I remember in 1970 there was a massive deer kill when 2 snowmobilers rode their machines over 30 deer trapped in the deep snow. Over 20 were pregnant does.

What the motives were for shooting a tagged bear were, I cannot guess, but the meat is far more palatable from a younger bear than from an old one.
