Awwww. I travel through Oak Ridge on my way home from work every day. There are a lot of black bears in that part of the state, but I've never seen this one. I hope it can maybe be captured and given vet care, rather than being killed. The poor thing must have limited access to his usual diet with his reduced mobility - and probably back and hip pain as well.
