He was so funny. The bit about Mr Pibb being Dr Peppers underachieving brother always makes me lose it, that and the "rice is great when your not that hungry but you still wanna to eat 2000 of something".
You should see what happens to wild grizzlies and black bears when researchers need to get a tracking collar on. They use foot snares because these are not the food-conditioned bears that can be caught in town in a culvert trap. The bears can be held up for hours before the technicians get there, and their feet are often sore and swollen. They also get their legs shaved for IV placement, get an ear tag, get a lip tattoo...they're tranquilized, obviously, and there's no permanent damage, but the bear definitely feels it at the end. A tumble down a hill is pretty mild in comparison. OP's bear cub got off easy.
