BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/10/21/national/main4535573.shtml (AP) Police at Western Carolina University and wildlife officials are investigating the discovery of a dead bear cub draped with a pair of Barack Obama campaign signs. Leila Tvedt, associate vice chancellor for public relations, said that maintenance workers found the 75-pound bear cub shot to death in front of the school's administration building at the entrance to campus early Monday. The Obama yard signs were stapled together and placed over the bear's head, Tvedt said. The bear had been shot in the head, Tvedt said. "Western Carolina University deplores the inappropriate behavior that has led to this troubling incident," Tvedt said. "We cannot speculate on the motives of the people involved nor who those people might be. Campus police are cooperating fully with authorities to investigate this matter." University police called in state Wildlife Resources officials to remove the body and help in the investigation. Bear hunting season is under way in western North Carolina.

Predicto Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I can't even imagine what message is trying to be sent here. There is a very good chance that this has nothing to do with the election at all - just a lot of alcohol inside some scumbags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickalino Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 My first thought was it was anti-Palin, because of Alaska being known for the largest bear population in the U.S., but I guess that's a stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Then again, Obama is actually a Chicago Bears fan, so it could be completely non-racist and non-political, but rather a disgruntled football fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
