Bear on island near Thunder Bay has jar on head - CTV News

"LAMBERT ISLAND, Ont. — A hungry bear with a plastic jar stuck on its head had wildlife officials in northwestern Ontario scrambling Wednesday to trap the elusive animal, while conservationists cried foul over recycling habits.....Concerns that it was the same bear spotted northeast of Thunder Bay two weeks ago, in the same dilemma, had provincial Ministry of Natural Resources officers fearing for its health.
In this article, Dr. Lynn Rogers from the North American Bear Center in Ely, MN makes several comments including "the best chance officials have to help the animal is to coax it up a tree and use a long stick with a tranquilizer at the end."
