Huge Bear Was Just An Easy Target

This post is dedicated to the very talented British blogger Bob T. Bear Esq. German police were called out midweek, after sightings of a huge bear, but found the beast was a giant stuffed teddy. Locals in the Black Forest region in south-west Germany rang police after they saw a brown bear in woods near the town of Titisee-Neustadt. Police, fearing another case like Bruno the bear that last year rampaged around the Alpine border region between Bavaria and Austria killing livestock, sent out a special squad to capture it. But a police spokesman said, "It had been put there by a local archery club to use as a target."
