Wildlife Officials Express Outrage Over Bear Cub Handling Incident

Wildlife officials in North Carolina have decided not to press charges after a group of people were caught on video pulling black bear cubs out of a tree and taking selfies with them near Berrington Village Apartments. Although the incident was deemed dangerous and unfortunate, the bear cubs were immediately released, and it appears to have been an isolated incident. The NC Wildlife Resources Commission emphasized the importance of leaving bear cubs alone and following BearWise Basics to ensure the safety of both humans and wildlife.
