PR guy for the city would probably make a statement like:

The City of Minnesota fully supports wildlife and because of this this tragedy is unbearable for many of us. When the bear entered the city during the festival, we bearly had enough time to react to the situation. So please bear in mind that we had the public's safety in mind. We stand by our decision and will bear all the burdens that come with this decision.

homer: no bears out today, looks like the bear patrol is doing its job.

lisa: dad, do you see any tigers? i could argue that this rock is keeping tigers away.

homer: lisa, how much would you like for your tiger repelling rock?

(homer gets mail)

homer: hey... what the! let the bears pay the bear tax, i pay the homer tax!

lisa: no dad, that's the home-owner tax.

i know i didn't get the lines precisely right.. but you get the idea :D

Trigger happy douche bags.

This post is really, really stupid.

homer: thank you honey.
lisa: by your logic, I could say this rock keeps tigers away.
homer: how does it work?
lisa: it doesn't work!
homer: uh huh.
lisa: it's just a stupid rock!
homer: ok.
lisa: but I don't see any tigers around here, do you?
homer: lisa, I'd like to buy your rock.

Yeah... and would YOU want to be the one to try pulling the jug off of the pissed off bear's head? I sure wouldn't!

Apparently the bear had evolved to be immune to tranquilizer shot during the six days in the jar, too bad he didn't evolved to be immune to bullets. Better luck next time.

Six days? Pffft.... They waited at least eight days before they shot my uncle that time he got stuck because he wouldn't let go of the pickle in the pickle jar.

Sounds like you haven't seen one in real life. I've been within 20 yards of black bears at least a dozen times while out in the woods.

Now, if you got to the carnival and you shoot something, you get a bear. If you go to a carnival and you shoot a bear, what do you get?

Things that make you go "Hmmmm!?"
