In Canada they just shoot them and sell the gall bladder to Chinese herbal medicine firms… the bear skin, the meat, and proceeds from the gall bladder usually cover the costs of shooting the bear and transporting the carcass. I’m sure in this case somehow Villagers ended up paying OT and other costs associated with tranqulizing this bear and driving it 10 miles out in to a state park – it will only come back again and cause further nuisance, which is why it should be shot. Some hunter with a permit will get it this fall anyway.
