Country star accused of illegally killing tame bear
Yeah. Real sporting there, champ. Takes a big, brave, manly man to shoot a penned animal, particularly a tame one. I can see why you'd want to do some creative editing to make it look like it happened otherwise. I have, quite frankly, zero support for sport hunting to start with, and this just nauseates me.
Authorities allege that Gentry purchased the bear from Greenly, a wildlife photographer and hunting guide, then killed it with a bow and arrow in an enclosed pen on Greenly's property in October 2004.
The government alleges that Gentry and Greenly tagged the bear with a Minnesota hunting license and registered the animal with the state Department of Natural Resources as a wild kill.
[...] The bear's death was videotaped, and the tape later edited so Gentry appeared to shoot the animal in a "fair chase" hunting situation, the government alleges.
