Authorities didn't act quick enough when residents reported a bear walking like a human through the neighborhood

Director of the New Jersey-based Bear Education and Resource Program Angi Metler was furious with the unnamed hunter or hunters killing Pedals.

She explained they wanted him to go to a sanctuary instead, so he could live out his life without fear of being hunted because he was an “internet sensation.” She was also certain that the hunters participating in the hunt were “gunning for him” specifically due to his online fame. “If you don’t get upset about this, there’s something wrong with you,” she declared.
