Well, if you can kill the thing by throwing a glove at it, I'm surprised it survived as long as it did.

cuz we all know "blue fleece gloves" exist in the natural habitat floating around freely. maybe the polar bear had previous experience with cotton candy...

The blockage forced the intestinal wall to rupture, killing the bear by blood poisoning. Phillips said Andy acted "a little off" on Tuesday and did not have his normal appetite.

the bear could easily swallow and stomach the fuzzy snack, its when it tried to digest in the intestines 🙁

In Utah, of course. I've long been convinced that those folks simply aren't taught critical thinking skills.

I remember when my kindergarten class went to the Anchorage Zoo decades ago. Annabelle, their Indian Elephant, grabbed one of my green fuzzy mittens off of my hand with her trunk, and tried to eat it. She chewed it, stood on it and tried to tear it with her trunk, and stomped on it. The zoo keeper finally got it back, after it was covered with mud and elephant slobber. He said she probably thought it was just a tasty green leaf, and wanted to eat it since it was the middle of winter and there was no greenery at the moment.

I hope the jerk who threw the glove feels like crap right about now.

Always sad when someone/something dies when it totally could've been avoided. 🙁

I wonder if the glove would've shown on an x-ray if the vet would've done one on the bear. Oh well, I hope they had a security camera around to catch the bastard that through the glove in. Definately should be charged with something.

R.I.P. Andy

As workers prepared to open the zoo early Wednesday they discovered Andy lying lifeless in his enclosure.

Heh sad story though.
