He'll be joined by a female black bear cub.

To me, this hiker, Corey Hancock, is a hero. If he were in front of me right now, I’d thank him and buy him a beer. The old debate: the “let nature take its course” people, who are probably reviling this man for interfering. Versus: the bear cub was clearly dying, mom was nowhere around, and the hiker wasn’t officiously intermeddling in wildlife family matters. I like to debate the crusader rabbits who fall into the first category, because they generalize and pontificate. And that sort of behavior makes ordinary Americans hate environmentalists.

Also, contrast what Corey Hancock did to the politicians (mostly republican) who just passed a bill, overturning a rule adopted during President Obama’s administration. By overturning that law, hunters in Alaska will be legally permitted to kill bear cubs and wolf puppies in their dens on federal land.

Isn’t this one of the best photos you’ll see all week?

Excerpt:

"Elkhorn," the black bear cub found "barely moving" by a hiker, was sent to PAWS Wildlife Center in Lynwood, Wash. Friday, where he will be able to develop without being habituated to humans, according to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Corey Hancock of Salem found the bear while on a hike Monday evening. He said the bear appeared to be dying and no mother was around. He ultimately made the decision to rescue the cub.

It is against the law to remove animals from their habitat. Hancock was warned about his actions by Oregon State Police but was not cited.

ODFW veterinarian Julia Burco and others treated the bear cub for mild pneumonia after he was picked up from Turtle Ridge Wildlife Rehab in Salem, where Hancock dropped him off.

Charles Harmansky-Johnson of Turtle Ridge called Hancock a "hero" for bringing in the cub. The cub could not stay at Turtle Ridge or any wildlife rehab in Oregon, however. There are no facilities in Oregon licensed to handle bear rehabilitation, which is why the baby bear was sent to Washington.

But Elkhorn won't be alone on his journey. He'll be joined by a female black bear cub that was brought into the ODFW Corvallis office on Thursday.

The female cub was found near Roseburg after her den was disturbed by someone doing commercial work, state wildlife veterinarian, Colin Gillin, said over the phone Friday. After the cub was found, she was collected and put back in her den, but the mother bear did not return while the work continued in the area.
