Locals save a bear with a bucket stuck on its head

It happened in Clarion County, PA, on Labor Day weekend: A young bear has been roaming the Perry Township area for several weeks with a bucket-like airbag stuck on its head. A "Save the Bucket Bear" Facebook page was created by locals and, after realizing that the Pennsylvania Game Commission has been doing nothing for the little guy, an ad-hoc group of rescuers took to action, freeing it from its head trap.

From CBS Pittsburgh:

This weekend, a group of people headed out to see if they could find the bear and help free it from the airbag.

Dean Hornberger, Jeff Kriebel, Kaitlyn Lakin, Eric Kriebel and Shawn Balcita searched the woods and brush for two hours before spotting the young black bear along a road.

They hopped into action to help save the bear.

Balcita held the bear down while Jeff and Eric Kriebel started sawing away at the airbag. It took them 30 to 40 minutes to eventually free the bear. After being cut free, the bear promptly ran back off into the woods.
