Bear is shot in face w/tranquilizer dart at 8:07. If the dart was over by an inch, the bear would have lost an eye. September 19, 2012.
From the Juneau Empire newspaper, September 21, 2012:
The videographer was "...filming the bear being shot with a tranquilizer dart in the face by an
Alaska Department of Fish and Game official. The bear was ultimately
euthanized by gun shot a short time later when officials realized it was
the same bear that had been relocated into the wild earlier this
summer. It had returned to the downtown area and had entered a yogurt
shop and a grocery store’s parking lot last Friday. It was also seen
atop of the Senate Mall building last week. Officials say it had become
habituated to people and was food-conditioned."
Thank you to Grace37 for the follow-up.

Euthanasia is putting an end to life because of pain & suffering. This wasn't euthanasia, this was just murdering the bear.

I'm no expert, but aren't you supposed to shoot a tranquilizer in the rump area?? A shot to the face seems either a little off the mark or a really nervous shooter.

The bear was euthanized.
Race ended up filming the bear being shot with a tranquilizer dart in the face by an Alaska Department of Fish and Game official. The bear was ultimately euthanized by gun shot a short time later when officials realized it was the same bear that had been relocated into the wild earlier this summer. It had returned to the downtown area and had entered a yogurt shop and a grocery store’s parking lot last Friday. It was also seen atop of the Senate Mall building last More..

@Grace37 That's sad. I wonder if relocating further away would have helped?

@hunuok Their sense of smell and direction is incredible...Plus it's not cheap relocating these animals. Sad indeed.

True they travel over 100 miles to get back home, oftentimes getting run over on the highways enroute. Re-lo, even for small critters, is not advocated anymore. Also the animals are lost, no familiar food/water source, territory already overpopulated or occupied, so they get into fights with animals over territory, etc. At least the bear was already under when they shot him.

Sad. He was a healthy bear and for all intents and purposes looked pretty happy. Too bad people fed him.I had a small adolescent bear in my backyard this fall in my backyard, but my dogs went nuts and he took off running from my shepherd. Two weeks later he found himself at an apartment complex 7 miles away where idiots fed him.He was put down too. Ultimately, it's the people who fed the bear who killed him.

So they "had to" kill the bear because it had become "habituated" and food conditioned, whatever the hell that means. That sounds like most people. Why not move the bear to a zoo or relocate him 800 miles away if he is still capable of feeding himself.

I would have went on a wild killing spree if I got shot in the face by a dart.
