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.
My first move would be to sue the fuck outta the school. Then from there I would buy an actual full grown bear that has lived off the flesh of it’s own cubs for the past ten years and then would proceed to let it loose in the house of the moron who decided this was a good idea

11 years ago at 11:19 pmViolence against bears seems to be sweeping college campuses. I think there’s a certain park ranger to blame…

11 years ago at 12:27 amI would have had a much better day had i not read this article
11 years ago at 12:30 amSave that fucking bear
11 years ago at 12:37 amIf they knew it was gonna go around and interact with people they should have given it a rabies shot in the first place. People are stupid. You can’t even let your dog or cat run around without a rabies shot and this is a fucking wild animal. I mean my question is how did they get a bear cub in the first place? Idiots.
