Black Bear Removed From New Jersey Turnpike
NJ.com has a story running about a black bear that became a spectacle near the New Jersey Turnpike’s Exit 8 in East Windsor. From the variety of photos available with the article, it appears safely removing the 300 pound bear was quite an ordeal.
The two- to three-year-old male was at least 20 feet above the ground in the tree for almost four hours, said Larry Hajna, a spokesman for the state Department of Environmental Protection. Hajna said the bear had to be removed because it was visible by Turnpike traffic and started to draw a crowd.

I've seen more stoies about bears in cities over the past couple years, its kinda a scary thing, all it takes is one to think a kid would be a good meal to really make these anti's change there minds about those cute and cuddly bears. Correct me if i wrong but didnt they outlaw bear hunting in NJ. I'm glad nobody got hurt and they were able to remove the bear safely. Good read.
