Two seven-foot North American Brown Bears have been shot and killed following a dangerous rampage through Bournemouth.
The bears were released from Tinsel Town theme park in Bournemouth by animal rights activists.
Superintendant Des Daubery said ‘we were forced to shoot them as they had a bad reaction to tranquilisers – we could not risk the 500 pound bears rampaging in anger around Bournemouth.’
‘This is a sad occasion, we do not like shooting animals but were left with no choice, he said.’
Owner of Tinsel Town Bob Staten, 70 is described to be ‘distressed’.
‘I am deeply upset that someone could do this not only to me, but to the people of Bournemouth.’
‘There is a real lack of amusement parks in this area of Bournemouth and we were hoping to plug a gap in the market with Tinsel Town.’
One of the bears attacked a man last night. Steve Bond, 32 was eating at a kebab house in Boscombe when the animal bit him.
‘I was only able to stop the bear by throwing my food at it and distracting it.’
‘I think it is irresponsible and dangerous to have these kind of animals roaming around.’
Police arrested one animal rights activist, who dressed up as a bear in an attempt to hinder the Police investigation.
The animal rights activists are believed to be part of the Bear Unity Movement.
