A bear was stuck up in a tree in an Elizabeth neighborhood for hours until the smell of donuts was just to enticing.
A bear was stuck up in a tree in an Elizabeth neighborhood for hours until the smell of donuts was just to enticing. Concerned residents called authorities to a tree on the 600 block of Court Street, but New Jersey Fish and Wildlife said it was too risky to use a tranquilizer gun to get it down.
If they tranquilized it, the fall could have injured the bear or one of the people trying to get it down. The bear walked into the trap and they were able to capture it. The bear will now be sedated and transported from the area with assistance from emergency personnel on scene. New Jersey Fish and Wildlife said their current protocol is to not respond to bear calls unless the bear is actively behaving aggressively toward people.
However, residents said they believed they spotted a younger bear with the one up the tree in the neighborhood earlier in the morning, and they were responsible for knocking over a few garbage cans.
