On Wednesday morning in Windsor, North Carolina, a hungry bear decided to help themself to the delicious scraps on a garbage truck. Unfortunately, he got stuck, and had no choice but to take a ride until concerned motorists dialed 911 to report a bear hanging from the vehicle.
During a stop, the bear had been lured aboard by the truck’s contents. While he was still there, the unsuspecting driver secured the netting that keeps the garbage in place and drove off to continue business as usual.
The driver of the garbage truck was stopped just outside of Windsor by a sheriff’s deputy, according to Sheriff John Holley. For safety reasons, he was advised to continue to the local landfill before freeing the bear; however, the bear managed to free himself and ran into the woods.
While this story may understandably elicit a few chuckles, it’s a relief that the bear was unharmed.
What’s New…
Glad the bear is safe.
Bless this bear, it must have been so hungry.
Yes; a relief the bear was okay.
Wheeew!!!
That was great ride 🐻 💚. So happy, that he got time to eat. Cool nerves. Thank you for showing this gorgeous video. Hope, that Darling Bear has sunny spring.
Bless this bear.
I am glad the bear is all right ! Keep your garbage well contained, folks ! I live with bears around me, so I know.
Windsor, NC public and private residents need to invest in bear proof dumpster and garbage cans!
I think we should actually take food garbage and have it separated from the rest of the trash and it put in area the wild animals can eat so one they don’t need to come in areas where people live looking for food , two it would cut down on the waste in the landfills – we need to take care of the animals on this earth and we need to take care of our earth the rest of the garbage in landfills can be broken down and utilized in other means –
Thank God the bear wasn’t hurt. 🐭
