Poor bear

Lil guy. Not too smart

Poor bear.. news flash. Even some 'smart' humans have trouble finding and using the inner door handle. some model cars are ridiculous. Same situation could of easily happened to a small child as well.

Sad to bare…. 😶

I can't even imagine how this played out.

Damnit

Wow.

😭😢

The parents should be prosecuted, this is just irresponsible parenting 🤬🤬🤬 Disgusting. :D

SO SAD💔

It should have been more responsible and not gotten caught in that car…said every conservative celebrating the overturning of RvW yesterday

Gonna be signs on the doors at local Walmarts reminding people to check their back seats for bears.

Look at all the dirt and trash in that car. People are nasty

That damn black bear had no business whatsoever entering a unlock car ! Normally bad things happen when you do illegal things !

Lord have mercy 💔

Gives New 'meaning' to the phrase , 'IF You can't do the TIME , ? , Then You shouldn't be doin the CRIME' , !!!!! . 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌💯

Who pays for the cleaning stench?

Bear gets stuck, dies in hot car parked outside Smoky Mountain cabin“Bears have noses 7 times better than a bloodhound and can smell even the faintest odor of food inside a vehicle. Lock your doors, roll up your windows, and never leave food or anything that smells like food inside!” Why doesn’t this happen when a junkie breaks into my car in SF? Why didn't the bear just bust through the windows or tear off the door? Bears are super strong. I’m staying away in July…can’t risk getting raped “Mating usually takes place in July.”
