BEAR SIGHTING AT LOCAL 24 HOUR VETERINARY EMERGENCY SPECIALTY HOSPITAL IN ROBBINSVILLE, NJ
ROBBINSVILLE, NJ June 27, 2011 — What could have been mistaken as a verylarge dog on Sunday was actually a400-500 lb bear meandering around the parking lot of NorthStar VETS.
The bear walked the parameters of the 33,000 square foot hospital in the early afternoon before deciding to climb the 200-250 year old Copper Beach tree in the front of the hospital for a nap.
“It didn’t bother anyone, “ said an onlooker “He just trotted around the parking lot like he owned the place.”
With all of the recent construction and clear-cutting the bear must have been wandering around in search of a place to lay his head. He just happened to stumble upon one of the six trees NorthStar VETS reconstructed their parking lot for in order to save and known that it would be the next safest place to rest.
People were excited and had their mobile phones and cameras out to snap a shot of the bear as he enjoyed his afternoon slumber in the tree. Chief of Staff, Dr. Daniel Stobie, and other NorthStar VETS team members took a moment to step outside to see all of the excitement.
