Coward Shoots Defenseless Bear, Will Pay $ And It Will Go Away...

According to an indictment unsealed this week, in October 2004 Gentry (half of Montgomery Gentry) paid $4,650 to shoot the "trophy-caliber" bear named "Cubby" at the Minnesota Wildlife Connection in northern Minnesota, which advertises itself as a place where animals can be photographed in the wild. After using a bow and arrow to kill the animal inside its pen, Gentry and the owner of the preserve tagged the bear and registered it with the state as if it had been killed in the wild. A videotape was edited to make it appear that Gentry had hunted down the bear. It takes a real coward to shoot a defenseless bear in its pen with a bow and arrow. Seriously, what a coward. This place should be shut down, they try to pass themselves off as an animal-friendly place which shows animals in their natural habitat...yet they let some country loser come along and pay them less than $5,000 to shoot a caged bear. To make it even worse they try to falsify information to help cover it up. Gentry will pay a $20,000 fine (which he has plenty of money, so it won't make a difference to him), and the Minnesota Wildlife Connection will...oh...they will have to do nothing...pay nothing...deny everything...and it will go away. Honestly, how can you look an animal in the face and do that? How? I'd like to know what kind of person can look at a defenseless animal in a cage, and shoot it, not with a gun...with a bow and arrow, to bring the animal to a slower more painful death...How sad. How honestly SAD...
