Election Gets Grizzly at WCU

Someone killed a 75-pound bear cub, decorated it with Obama signs, and left it on the campus of Western Carolina University for people to find. So far the reaction has been along the lines of “Ew, gross!”:
“But this is certainly unacceptable,” Johnson said. “Someone evidently was wanting to draw attention to the election. If we find out who they are, we’ll make sure they’ll get some attention themselves.”
The university issued a statement calling what happened deplorable and troubling.
“We cannot speculate on the motives of the people involved nor who those people might be, said Leila Tvedt, associate vice chancellor. “Campus police are cooperating with authorities to investigate this matter.”
They’re in the dark. Let’s speculate! Is someone trying to frame the Democratic front-runner for the crime or imply that he’s a baby-killer? Is the cub supposed to be Obama himself? We can only hope the students who sent this cryptic message stand up and explain themselves, and that the police finds them before the grief-stricken mama bear does.
