Bear faring well after Cape Cod getaway

Tranquilizer ends his odyssey in a Wellfleet thicket

The black bear who roamed Cape Cod for more than two weeks, attracting quite a bit of attention along the way, is in good condition after he was tranquilized in Wellfleet and released in Central Massachusetts, state wildlife officials said Tuesday.

“By 9 p.m. [Tuesday] night the young male bear . . . was transported and released by MassWildlife biologists to within the range of other bears in Central Massachusetts,” the state Division of Fisheries and Wildlife said in a statement. “MassWildlife biologists and Environmental Police monitored the bear overnight and reported the bear is in good condition.”

Are you sure you are helping the bear? He's male but yet he headed to Provincetown, supposedly to find a female? Very few heterosexual females in Provincetown. Lots of gay males (and gay females, of course). If he was shy maybe he just didn't get noticed...

One more thing. When you say he's "doing well" is this from a Liberal's point of view -- you know, no freedom, no stimulation, only responsibilities and boredom, but he is physically healthy (because he is a just a drone who isn't able to really do anything)?
