The sad tale of Panda the black bear

Downtown Revelstoke turned into a bit of a zoo Friday morning when a black bear the RCMP called Panda wouldn’t come down from a tree on First Street West. A big crowd gathered to watch Conservation Officers and RCMP deal with the situation. Sadly, Panda was put down by the COs later that day. For more, see page two. 1. The black bear climbed up the tree sometime Thursday night. By the morning, the city had the section of sidewalk blocked off and an RCMP officer was monitoring the situation while Conservation Officers drove in from Vernon. 2. CO Mike Richardson fills up a one of two tranquilizer rounds. 3. Cpl. Thomas Blakney and CO Terry Myroniuk shake the branches to encourage Panda to fall. At this point the bear was clinging onto the branches with the last of its fading strength. 4. The bear struggles to hold onto the branches as the second tranquilizer takes effect. 5. The bear is drowsy as it lies on the mattress with two darts in its side. 6. With the bear passed out in the truck, people move in to pet and take photos of the sleepy animal.
