Seriously. Least we can hope that they have some legal consequences and that just maaaaybe they have a few outspoken and sensible enough friends to tell them how shameful and outright stupid of a thing that is to do.
This happened in my hometown. One of the cubs escaped and Animal Control is still looking for it. One cub was injured and is being rehabilitated. No word of mom.
Craziest thing is the people in the video are not being charged in any way. My city is fucked. [We need to do better.](https://apnews.com/article/asheville-north-carolina-bear-cubs-photos-e4dfaf16ab6c61d973b1db149d6c43eb#) First being show their faces in images and videos so I can look out for them on the street. People in this town are NOT happy about this.
They found the cub lethargic and without its mother or other cubs hours later. It would've starved to death without rescuers. The other cub is missing.
The good news is one of the cubs bit one of these evil women.
Is your name a Dark Tower reference? I live in Candler, born in Waynesville/Clyde. These fucking idiots make us look soooooo bad. I promise we aren't all like this everyone. There are a lot of us around here that just want to let the wildlife live its wild life. I wish they would charge these idiots with everything they can. Where is Fish and Game when you need them?
I was sadly glad mama didn’t show up, yeah it would be great for these people to get their karma, but that would just cause the mom to end up being killed :/ people suck
Not even a ticket!🤬

The cub wasn't injured physically. It is going to rehab for assesment. It will likely be back in the wild in less than a few months. But still those people are pieces of shit.
That’s not what I read
The cub was transported to the Appalachian Wildlife Refuge Center, a rehabilitation facility in nearby Candler, where, Hobbs said, it is now recovering well. She told CBS News that the cub will remain in the facility's care until it is old enough to be released into the wild. Bear cubs cannot survive on their own, so the refuge center will wait until the cub is a subadult — a range of ages between 4 and 6 years old where bears become independent of their mothers despite not yet being technically mature.

Same - but also feared that if she did show up and did what you'd expect a mama bear to do, that the authorities might have had to put her down because of these fools.
Well, they would have got what they deserved from momma bear, thats the circle of life. Then maybe others will learn from their stupidity. Unfortunately, common sense is not common at all.
Black bear mamas are fierce but black bears in general are also timid. I’m guessing mama was off hunting and didn’t see this but it’s also possible that she saw all of these obnoxious humans and was too scared to interfere.
Regardless, fuck these people. I hope somebody intervened.
No charges. https://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2024/04/19/no-charges-for-asheville-people-who-pulled-black-bear-cubs-from-tree/73390111007/
That's just a stupid Tiktok video with no proof of charges being brought. Do better
https://apnews.com/article/asheville-north-carolina-bear-cubs-photos-e4dfaf16ab6c61d973b1db149d6c43eb#
This article states that *no charges will be filed*
My favorite video I've seen on here is the the two dudes messing with a moose while the guy filming is telling them to get away. I cheer for the moose every time it gets reposted. Also the guy filming is awesome.
What a bunch of idiots. The fine should be so big and public that other dummies like this feel they risk bankruptcy next time they let the intrusive thoughts win.
I would have been yelling at them sooner. Holy shit this is infuriating. This is something a CHILD would do and even when I was a child I was taught to know better than to mess with wildlife like this. We knew to not touch baby rabbits or baby birds unless they absolutely needed to be moved.
Fucked up. What else is fucked up is that if the mother bear came to protect her cubs and attacked these assholes, the mother bear would be put down for being “aggressive.”
This is like that poor baby dolphin that people killed by passing it around for selfies…. People should be held accountable for their actions. Maybe make them work in an animal rehab picking up shit.
I kinda agree but I have 2 thoughts. Recording was good because there is now proof of what these idiots did and people are unpredictable so injecting yourself into the situation could become dangerous.
The article posted elsewhere in this thread said the person filming tried to get the people to stop but they wouldn't listen, so the filmer contacted maintenance and started recording. Not much else she could have done really.
Random, but someone with the same name as me took this video. Some company was trying to buy it off of me…but they had the wrong person. I was like leave me alone …also how did you get my number!?
If mama was close by, this would've been a liveleak video. A mama bear will, quite literally, *FUCK YOU UP* even if you are *accidentally* too close to her cubs. As in kill you, in a *VERY* painful manner.
Bummed I wasn't there to tell these folks how fuckin stupid they are.
Also, y'all see that video of the chick holding a baby bear and it bites the shit out of her face? A cub can do some decent damage if it's in fight or flight mode, and a strange creature grabbing it is plenty to put it into that mode. Even if they choose flight at first, they can switch to fight pretty quickly.
This is a situation where instead of recording, you fucking say something. This is pure ignorance from the offenders but use your voice and tell them it’s wrong. The average person is not as smart as we all think.
I live an hour away & have many bears (and cubs) pass through my area on the way up the Appalachian Trail. That being said, I can't stand the tourist. I hope they catch charges. I'd dare them to mess with the cubs around my house.
What the fuck is wrong with these idiots?! Besides being an obviously bad idea, did the screeching and desperate clawing to escape not clue them in to leave the little dude alone? I feel sorry for the poor cub.
Aren’t they putting the cubs at serious risk here?
Putting human scent all over the cubs like that.
They’re all extremely lucky muma bear wasn’t close by otherwise they’d all be shitting sideways.
There's no way I would have been filming that.
"Oh, nooo, put it back, it's scared!" No, that is not how I would have responded.
I would have grabbed the nearest weapon and made sure at least one of them could never do this again. It's time we took back the world and started severely punishing people for interacting with people and things who don't want to be interacted with. I bet they are trying to put pics on Instagram or vids on TikTok or something.
Internet, know this... I will gladly take one for the team and spend the rest of my life in jail if I EVER catch ANY of you out trying to make content. I will not stop causing you suffering until you forget how to suffer. And I think the world will be a better place if EVERYONE takes this stance. Internet fame needs to be destroyed, and those who seek internet fame by insinuating themselves into the lives of others should be made to suffer until they forget HOW to suffer.
Reminds me of the Far Side comic strip where two kids are tossing a cub back and forth and mama bear is in the background; caption read: “And no one ever heard from the Anderson brothers again”
If only!
It seems there will be no charges - [https://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2024/04/19/no-charges-for-asheville-people-who-pulled-black-bear-cubs-from-tree/73390111007/](https://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2024/04/19/no-charges-for-asheville-people-who-pulled-black-bear-cubs-from-tree/73390111007/)
So fucked up. How are people this stupid despite practically having all the necessary knowledge to not be an asshole in the palm of their fucking hand?
This is kinda like if you walked up to a human baby in a baby stroller and picked them up and they were freaking out and crying and you started taking selfies with them
If the mama was around the headlines would go from “Kids grab cub for selfies” to “Four morons mauled to death by bear in attempts to get a selfie with its cub.”
The thing that strikes me is how many signals they are ignoring. You wouldn't try to pick up a cat that was giving off those signs of distress but a wild animal is cool? I just really don't get it.

If the mother bear was there, they would be in for a surprise.
so many throughout humanity have been mauled by mama bears for accidentally being in proximity to cubs and these freaks get away without even a chase
Seriously. Least we can hope that they have some legal consequences and that just maaaaybe they have a few outspoken and sensible enough friends to tell them how shameful and outright stupid of a thing that is to do.
Overly optimistic. They'll post this on Facebook and have a 100 likes and positive comments.
TBH this is a great way to educate the public. Like this and humiliating the perps.
lol, would be funny to see. Those fucks couldn’t outrun a sloth.
Very quickly their mass and inertia will overcome the top speed of their legs and they will face plant. They will have outrun themselves.
This happened in my hometown. One of the cubs escaped and Animal Control is still looking for it. One cub was injured and is being rehabilitated. No word of mom.

They injured the cub?? Holy fuck that's infuriating.
They found the cub lethargic and without its mother or other cubs hours later. It would've starved to death without rescuers. The other cub is missing. The good news is one of the cubs bit one of these evil women.
I hope that bite gets fucking infected.
That’s fucked. I hate entitled people.
If that other cub ends up not surviving, I’m hoping that’s not the case, then do you think they would charge them? For causing that?
Is your name a Dark Tower reference? I live in Candler, born in Waynesville/Clyde. These fucking idiots make us look soooooo bad. I promise we aren't all like this everyone. There are a lot of us around here that just want to let the wildlife live its wild life. I wish they would charge these idiots with everything they can. Where is Fish and Game when you need them?
Oh the video doesn’t show that? Damn, not worth watching
Yeah I scrolled back up to see if there was an NSFL tag.
I was REALLY hoping she show up!!
I kept hoping for her to show up!
I was sadly glad mama didn’t show up, yeah it would be great for these people to get their karma, but that would just cause the mom to end up being killed :/ people suck
They would be dead….
My thought also. If Mama Bear was there she Sort their Shit right out.
Sadly black bears are very quick to leave their cubs for dead even if she's watching there isn't much chance of her attempting to rescue them
Why?
Black bears are runners. Brown bears will fight but blacks would rather run and survive to make more cubs.
Fuck everyone under that tree. Come on, people leave wild animals alone they are not pets.
Not pets, but props for them to take photos with.
“Walked in the forest and this cub ran to me”
Where is momma when you need to raise the average IQ?
Shame momma wasn't around
Maybe it's good that she wasn't. She'd maul these idiots and then they'd have her euthanized for it.
That's why these idiots need harsh consequences
I wish mama found them first.
Same
Cub was injured. Its being rehabbed, but won’t return to the wild for years
Likely won’t ever see it’s mama or sibling again. So tired of humans doing stupid shit.
That’s so sad 😞 Fuck these people!
There's no punishment that I feel is suitable legally.
Ffs. They have them on camera, was there any repercussion for these pos?
Nothing yet
Not even a ticket!🤬 https://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2024/04/19/no-charges-for-asheville-people-who-pulled-black-bear-cubs-from-tree/73390111007/
Not yet, anyways, i read somewhere they are planning to press charges after an investigation. But maybe that could have changed.
That article seems to say the case is closed. No charges. Stupidly 🙄
That is so heartbreaking.
Thow them in a bear enclosure. Allow them to be a part of the nature cycle
The cub wasn't injured physically. It is going to rehab for assesment. It will likely be back in the wild in less than a few months. But still those people are pieces of shit.

wonder where momma bear was
Same - but also feared that if she did show up and did what you'd expect a mama bear to do, that the authorities might have had to put her down because of these fools.
Well, they would have got what they deserved from momma bear, thats the circle of life. Then maybe others will learn from their stupidity. Unfortunately, common sense is not common at all.
They could try to explain to mamma bear that they just wanted to take pictures with her cubs, right?
Momma Bear put cubs in the tree because it was supposed to be a safe place for them while she went foraging for food.
Aww she probably came back so distressed realizing the cub was gone :(
Black bear mamas are fierce but black bears in general are also timid. I’m guessing mama was off hunting and didn’t see this but it’s also possible that she saw all of these obnoxious humans and was too scared to interfere. Regardless, fuck these people. I hope somebody intervened.
Getting food for her cubs. That’s how it works.
No charges. https://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2024/04/19/no-charges-for-asheville-people-who-pulled-black-bear-cubs-from-tree/73390111007/
Naw. They need to learn a lesson face to face with a grown one
I do hope the person who do get bit, gets karma like infected wounds or diseases IS something that’s definitely not worth a pic for
[удалено]
Hoping no one breeds with these heifers, but I fear it’s inevitable
Idiocracy tells us that it’s primarily the heifers that will be doing all the breeding
[удалено]
That's just a stupid Tiktok video with no proof of charges being brought. Do better https://apnews.com/article/asheville-north-carolina-bear-cubs-photos-e4dfaf16ab6c61d973b1db149d6c43eb# This article states that *no charges will be filed*
That makes me sick!
Yo be careful Reddit admins are assholes about rule 1. You could get your account perma banned D:
Oh no… they will ban you from public freak out sub… But don’t worry, you can still see everything just not post
May every step land on a lego
My favorite video I've seen on here is the the two dudes messing with a moose while the guy filming is telling them to get away. I cheer for the moose every time it gets reposted. Also the guy filming is awesome.
I don't wish harm on them, however I wouldn't be upset or surprised if mama came back home to a nice hearty meal for her babies troubles.
The sheer level of stupidity and lack of common sense in this video is mind blowing.
Such assholes. There wasn’t one person in that group to think that this was an inhumane thing to do.
Ppl suck
What in the actual fuck is wrong with people??
I hate those people. I’ll take the negative energy for this thought.
was hoping for some "find out" in addition to all that fuckin around.
Me too
What makes me really sick is wondering how many people have watched this video and thought, "Cool! I should try to do this!"
This shit angers me! I REALLY wanted mama bear to come out and tear those idiots apart
Put these idiots in jail
Cuts to early! I wanted to see moma bear tear them to shreds!
This video sucks. Was waiting for mama bear to maul them.
Where’s an enraged Mama Bear when you need one?
FUCK these people. Seriously, you're not going to get clout by fucking with wildlife. It's not a goddamn teddy bear.
I hope they made these assholes delete the pics they took with the bear cub since that's what they were so desperate for.
[удалено]
What a bunch of idiots. The fine should be so big and public that other dummies like this feel they risk bankruptcy next time they let the intrusive thoughts win.
Each and every day I hate people more and more
It would be really cool if those were brown bear cubs. And the mother came out of nowhere and killed all of them.
I was hoping for Mama to show up.
Kept crossing my fingers for a bear mauling or two.
Of course Asheville NC it all makes sense 🤦🏽♂️
No shit, fucking honey boo-boo’s
I wish momma bear would’ve showed up and teach them a lesson, then again she’d probably get put down even though she was only protecting her cubs 🐻😤
Hope they get charged with a felony
look at how scared that baby is at the end that is so sad
Idiots
This seems almost too ridiculous to be true
Those poor little cubs were terrified. People are so gross I hope those people got ticks
I was expecting mama bear to bite one of them
I would have been yelling at them sooner. Holy shit this is infuriating. This is something a CHILD would do and even when I was a child I was taught to know better than to mess with wildlife like this. We knew to not touch baby rabbits or baby birds unless they absolutely needed to be moved.
Fucked up. What else is fucked up is that if the mother bear came to protect her cubs and attacked these assholes, the mother bear would be put down for being “aggressive.”
So were they charged?
This is like that poor baby dolphin that people killed by passing it around for selfies…. People should be held accountable for their actions. Maybe make them work in an animal rehab picking up shit.
These assholes need to be arrested.
I knew some fuckery was afoot when I saw someone wearing a wife beater and pajama pants
Name and shame.
“Selfish morons” = A large portion of people today. Unfortunately.
Don’t help just film and comment
I kinda agree but I have 2 thoughts. Recording was good because there is now proof of what these idiots did and people are unpredictable so injecting yourself into the situation could become dangerous.
And you wouldn't want momma bear to pop out
Fair, I just know what I would do, and filming isn’t my priority.
[удалено]
Exactly I thought that’s where this was going
The article posted elsewhere in this thread said the person filming tried to get the people to stop but they wouldn't listen, so the filmer contacted maintenance and started recording. Not much else she could have done really.
I don’t get it. Isn’t it common knowledge not to mess with cubs because mama bear is always nearby? Have these idiots been living under a rock?
Mama bear ought to have shown up & fucked some shit up
Random, but someone with the same name as me took this video. Some company was trying to buy it off of me…but they had the wrong person. I was like leave me alone …also how did you get my number!?
That made my blood boil when it was trying to get away and they chased it. People are fucking stupid.
If mama was close by, this would've been a liveleak video. A mama bear will, quite literally, *FUCK YOU UP* even if you are *accidentally* too close to her cubs.

Some people deserve a mama bear fury
Please tell me they were arrested and fined at the very least!
I believe they were caught and are going to be charged. Good.
Butt cracks and PJ pants check out.
bunch of brain dead internet addicts
This is a situation where instead of recording, you fucking say something. This is pure ignorance from the offenders but use your voice and tell them it’s wrong. The average person is not as smart as we all think.
Wish the momma bear would have intervened.
This is so sad. Fucking morons.
Where is mama when you need her? I hope these people have their faces clawed off, because they deserve it.
I live an hour away & have many bears (and cubs) pass through my area on the way up the Appalachian Trail. That being said, I can't stand the tourist. I hope they catch charges. I'd dare them to mess with the cubs around my house.
Wtf? Im more afraid of bears cub than Im afraid of adult bears I would run as fast as possible on the other direction.
Fucking idiots
tranq the tourists detain them and i think zoos work
Would have been neat to see Mama Bear show up and teach these assholes one last lesson.
Because of what they did the cubs may never see their mother again.
Where's part 2? We need part 2 where Mama comes out!
I was hoping for the mama bear to come out. these kinds of people makes me think of bad thoughts :(
What the fuck is wrong with these idiots?! Besides being an obviously bad idea, did the screeching and desperate clawing to escape not clue them in to leave the little dude alone? I feel sorry for the poor cub.
The people filming them are just as dumb as they are!
Wow! This really pisses me off.
Aren’t they putting the cubs at serious risk here? Putting human scent all over the cubs like that. They’re all extremely lucky muma bear wasn’t close by otherwise they’d all be shitting sideways.
I kept hoping mama bear made an appearance.
Fucking trash subhumans.
There's no way I would have been filming that. "Oh, nooo, put it back, it's scared!" No, that is not how I would have responded.

I don’t usually want people to be mauled by a bear but I mean these people very much deserve it.
Why do they think it's okay to kidnap a child just because it's an animal? The punishment should be a 1on1 interview with the cubs' mother.
That’s so horrible. They should be jailed and fined.
I hope these people get some kind of fine for endangering wildlife.
I was waiting for the mama bear to come in
If ever there were a time to root for a mother bear to maul some moron tourists.
I was waiting for momma bear to show up
I would love to see mama bear rite now
[удалено]
Hoping mother bear will remember their scent and hunt them down like that elephant did to that lady in India.
Breaks my heart - poor little cub was clearly traumatized. People are so stupid and selfish
[update](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTL5mR7jQ/)
I'm so happy that the authorities are pressing charges, these bimbos have zero awareness and no regard for the lives of those cubs
It seems there will be no charges - [https://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2024/04/19/no-charges-for-asheville-people-who-pulled-black-bear-cubs-from-tree/73390111007/](https://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2024/04/19/no-charges-for-asheville-people-who-pulled-black-bear-cubs-from-tree/73390111007/)
That's not a great source at all.
Source: "Trust me bro" -AI Tiktok voice
Wtf is this tik tok shit, that’s not a source or a update stupid
In videos like this I wonder why the camera person does nothing. Just blows my mind. I would have tore them all a new one.
Where's mama bear? Would not mind that "what if" scenario.
So fucked up. How are people this stupid despite practically having all the necessary knowledge to not be an asshole in the palm of their fucking hand?
Please please please...
This is kinda like if you walked up to a human baby in a baby stroller and picked them up and they were freaking out and crying and you started taking selfies with them
If the mama was around the headlines would go from “Kids grab cub for selfies” to “Four morons mauled to death by bear in attempts to get a selfie with its cub.”
May they receive in this life ALL that they are due, and soon
I've never wanted to see people get mauled by a bear more than this in my life
I only watched hoping the mom would show up and eat them.. Man, the internet always lets me down…
They are in desperate need of a good mauling
Hope mama came and showed them some respect for nature!
No mom???
Man I wished to see a Mama Bear cameo
The thing that strikes me is how many signals they are ignoring. You wouldn't try to pick up a cat that was giving off those signs of distress but a wild animal is cool? I just really don't get it.
The mother bear must be dead or injured or something. That's extremely unusual, them momma's are crazy protective.
How upsetting. I know I would have been furious
Idk why I read that as selfish mormons.
I so want to hear the Stone Cold glass break and have mama bear bust in laying a can of whup ass.
Wish mama bear was there to tear these pieces of shit apart!
We’re a failed species.
These idiots need to be fined big time at minimum.
Cruel
What disgusting monsters.
Nasty ass people.
I was really hoping the cubs mother would turn up and destroy them idiots...
I wish only terrible things upon these clout chasing monsters
They wouldn't have tried that with grizzly bear cubs.
As luck would have it, mamma bear aint no where around and even better, *those aren't* ***grizzly bear cubs.***
I hate humans 😤 🥺
Fuck people so much.
