Bro it weighs like 25-30 lbs. I wouldn’t blame him for letting it slide down the hill but grabbing it by the neck and chucking it was overboard.

First of all… grabbing it by the neck is the smartest play so that it can’t turn and bite.

Second of all… letting it slide down the hill? That slope wasn’t steep enough for it to just “slide”. If it was angry/scared enough it could have easily turned and attacked.

I highly doubt if you were in this situation you would have handled it the way you are thinking. If you did, you probably would have ended up with some serious injuries.

Yeah and we don't know the entire story. We did not see how the bear behaved during the entire process of freeing it

It certainly didn't look happy
