Old Man of the Hills

One reason for the decision to kill the bear was its advanced age, Madel said. Its molars were worn flat and it scored 2.5 on a 1-to-5 emaciation scale with 1 being the worst. It also had tooth decay.
Damn Obamacare... ;)
 
Cool story. Too bad it ended that way instead of a death fitting an old bruin, such as he was. Less painful than dying fighting with a younger griz or of starvation though.
