EDV Bay Air chases man after being shot with tranquilliser dart
Bay Air chases man after being shot with tranquilliser dart

A man who shot a marauding bear with a tranquilliser gun had an almighty scare when the beast awoke as
he approached, and proceeded to attack him.


The female bear had been injected with a sleep-inducing drug after it appeared near the village of Chorzow in Poland.
Unfortunately for the rangers tasked with capturing the animal, it woke up from its apparent slumber as they came near and gave
chase to the man who had shot it.

Thanks to the efforts of both men, the bear was eventually brought under control. Reports said authorities plan to take it to a local zoo.
The same bear had reportedly been released in a nearby wood three weeks ago, after it was captured near a school in Przemysl.
It is believed that the bear had broken free from a Ukranian wildlife park 25 miles away.

2. I heard Stephanie Miller reading this story today
She said it was sent in by someone named Tommy. That jerk is always stealing your material. ;)

3. Terrible, isn't it. "And now...a story about a Bay Air."
If I were Botany, I'd do something to that Tommy, I would.
