How is it stupid? I thought they were smart to use a truck and not just walk up there with a ladder.

Having an upset adult bear hanging around your property is probably way more stupid than driving past a dumpster full of baby bears.

Yeah, it had to be done, and someone had to do it. Preferably someone who had a truck and a ladder.

They were really cute, too, when they popped out of the dumpster… Poor things must be hungry.

Watched the clip and all I could think was what was running through the mother bear’s mind.

“Goddam humans. Now I gotta find another dumpster to get rid of these little brats in!!!”
