Black bear wanders into an airport grounds in Tampa

Tweet

It appears that the reason a black bear that wandered into the grounds of the Tampa International Airport on Tuesday was due to the fact that the bear was looking for food since his home in the forest is being taken away by humans in the name of progress. A Transportation Service Administrative (TSA) employees reported seeing the black bear walking along the perimeter of the airport on Tuesday.' Officials at the airport contacted the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority (HCAA) for assistance in dealing with the bear that was in the airport grounds due to the danger that the bear would cause when airplanes would be either landing. The officials of the HCAA contacted the Florida Fish And Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) officials to deal with the bear. The FWC officials set a trap in the area in an attempt to capture the bear and take him away from the area safe and sound. It took the FWC officials one day to capture the bear when the bear fell into the trap. This story has a good ending since the FWC officials were able to relocate the bear to another location in Florida safe and sound with the bear being harmed. Link is upi.com/5461686859926 via @upi
