Here's a nice little bedtime story for the kids. There was this idiot in Quebec (let's call him Jerkface) who decided that a black bear would make a good pet, so he hopped on his Jet Ski and kidnapped a six month old bear cub that was swimming in the Gatineau River a few feet away from it's mother. To tire the cub out so it wouldn't fight back, Jerkface ran it over with the Jet Ski a few times and then held it by the leg and repeatedly dunked it under water. Then, thinking that a bear riding a Jet Ski would make a great photo for the local paper, Jerkface rode over to a public landing, where several passersby promptly called police and the local wildlife protection squad. If there was any justice in the world, the mother bear would have tracked Jerkface down, mauled him, and made him a prime candidate for this year's Darwin Awards. But instead, it's unlikely he'll get more than a $2000 fine, he says he'd do it again given the chance, and the poor cub is now an orphan. And that's why Canada needs stronger animal cruelty laws.
