MNR was called 48 hours before the bear was shot and they wouldn't come out. Yrp called animal control, u of Guelph, Toronto zoo and several other services with no help. The bear was up a tree not far from a school and everyone and their kids ran out of the house to watch the bear.
MNR was called again, and they took 2 hrs to respond
Scared and confused bears can turn violent pretty quickly. Had the bear turned on a child in the area then police would have had to answer why the bear wasn't put down. Damned if you do, damned if you don't
Always easy to armchair quarterback net minder especially after the MNR a was called several times and they never showed up. Actually they showed up ten minutes after the shooting. The blame should be placed on the MNR. They never show up when they are needed. I have called for them numerous times in 8 yrs and they've showdd up once
