Bear in the city

A young black bear went for the ride of his life Monday afternoon after a dump truck operator unwittingly chauffeured him from North Vancouver to Downtown Vancouver, Canada, By the time the conservation officer arrived a crowd of spectators had gathered.  Police had set up a large containment area around the truck, on top of which the terrified bear had climbed, looking for a way to get down. Officers shot him with a tranquilizer dart, but it didn't work, so he eventually jabbed him with a syringe on a pole.
