UPDATE: Cutest Bear Cub On Earth Bit Some Students At Washington U And Gets To LIVE
UPDATE: Boo Boo gets to live. Fuck yeah.
I bring saddening news out of St. Louis via the ever-breaking news source, Twitter.
Washington University administrators brought a leashed bear cub to campus for students to interact with in order to uplift their spirits for final exams. The Bear is the Washington University mascot. This particular bear cub’s name is Boo Boo. As you can see above, Boo Boo is cute as shit. In my opinion, he’s the cutest bear cub on the planet.
Boo Boo got a little excited to be around the Wash U students and nipped some of them with his little bear cub teeth, because, you know, he’s a baby bear. Baby bears, by the way, naturally mature to be blood-thirsty killing machines in the wild. It’s what they do. They depend on hunting for survival. They’re bears.
Because it was unknown whether Boo Boo had rabies–something that seems unimaginable since he was chosen to interact with real human beings–the students who were bitten may have to see a physician to receive their rabies vaccinations.
Oh yeah, and they decided to kill poor Boo Boo.
Shame on @WUSTL for exploiting a bear for entertainment & leading to euthanization bc he bit students. Help @peta pic.twitter.com/ZK1hMZLheU

SMH @ wash u for bringing a bear cub to campus and now everyone who was "nipped" is at risk for rabies

Apparently, an animal can’t be tested for rabies unless it is dead–something about having to cut its head off to test it. I’m sad for poor Boo Boo. Thoughts go out to Boo Boo’s bear family.
Man, someone really screwed this thing up.
Fucking bears, what can ya do
11 years ago at 10:08 pmSo that’s how his cousin ended up on that bench
11 years ago at 10:15 pmSo a parent is holding a baby and the baby shits. A few people find it to smell unpleasant. By this same logic the parent would kill his child. Makes total fucking sense
11 years ago at 10:18 pmI’m upset about this as much as the next guy, guy, but that’s definitely not how logic works
11 years ago at 12:44 amIt’s just an example that shows how the universities logic (going to unnecessary extremes to ‘fix’ a problem instead of taking responsibility) is stupid when used in an everyday situation.

11 years ago at 10:33 pmIrony: Wash U’s mascot……… a bear
11 years ago at 10:36 pmIn case your wondering why you now owe 8 laps and counting, give the article another read champ.
11 years ago at 1:31 amHaha that ridiculous. Check ur privilege………….
11 years ago at 2:22 pmThey have the whole bear to pet and they pick to the side with the premature razor sharp teeth. Idiots.
11 years ago at 10:52 pmWell that put a damper on my night
11 years ago at 10:53 pmSo by that exact same logic I should put down a puppy if it nips someone?
11 years ago at 10:56 pmWhat’s with all the dead bear stories on here lately
