> [@Stratocaster](#): > > Wait, it was illegal to kill a bear in self defense prior to this law? Yeah. This makes no sense. And why in the fuck are they referred to as ‘crack’ bears? I get bears on my property plenty of times. They have gotten into our cars 4 times. I don’t shoot them, but will fire into the ground to get their attention and scare them off. ---

Yeah, but if they were on crack, that shooting into the ground shit probably wouldn’t work. ---

No. It’s also not a hairy gay guy. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Short term memory is the first to go. But, I think there was one case of a cocaine air-drop that was apparently eaten into by a bear. Then the supposed bear ended up in a movie or TV show. Then the Florida legislature enacted a stupid law addressing a non-problem and had to start saying “we didn’t mean regular bears, just cocaine bears.”. The law let people shoot bears out of season or something. [I was close.](https://www.loweringthebar.net/2024/02/florida-crack-bear-bill.html) It was proposed, but maybe not enacted. ---

No. But it will be a declined charge. As in running downhill. Which are the hardest to evade. ---

> [@Yllaria](#): > > [I was close.](https://www.loweringthebar.net/2024/02/florida-crack-bear-bill.html) It was proposed, but maybe not enacted. That’s the bill that deSantis just signed, so yes it was enacted. The bill itself doesn’t say anything about cocaine, crack, meth, or any other drug which according to Hollywood turns bears into insane murder animals. It was the sponsor of the bill that described it as only applying to crack-addled ursines. ---
