Smoky Mountains Park euthanizes wrong bear after hiker bitten

The biologists decided to euthanize the bear because it was too big to be carried for six miles from the back-country to a place it could be confined while awaiting the test results, and they could not fit a tracking collar on its head, she added.

When test results came back, it was determined that the wrong animal had been killed, she said.

I think it's time to euthanize some biologists.

Yeah, I like these types of hacks.  Like storing cut onions with a half avocado to prevent browning, or the avocado wrapped in alunimum foil in the oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes to soften it up (which I haven't tried yet).
