There has been a black bear wandering around a residential area just outside of Toronto. We have been hearing about the bear and they have been watching it carefully.
Then the police moved in and shot it. No one was in danger. So why shoot it now?
The Ontario Ministry of Wildlife has tranquilizer guns, but with the bear around all weekend, why didn't they show up in time.

No one is happy about this. The bear could have been moved safely. I think our police like to shoot things. I hope there is some kind of investigation or inquest. At least they could train the police to handle wildlife. This is not their first encounter with a wild animal.
