You also see the host of the show petting a dead bear and almost break down into tears while on camera.
I took that section of the show as a reason for hunting bears in Jersey. That bear was killed by authorities because it was fequenting a house. I thought it had to do with the overpopulation of bears in the area with no hunting management program. To me, the ranger seemed pretty disgusting that this animal had to be wasted the way it was instead of being hunted.
