A Wisconsin family bravely saves a bear stuck in a Cheese Ball container – a highly unusual ending to a family fishing trip.
The family approaches the bear in their boat. Luckily, they managed to remove the container after a few attempts.
The container was identified as an old cheese ball container – probably the remnants of another negligible family’s picnic.
Plastic pollution is a pervasive issue that affects not only marine life but also terrestrial animals.
Word of their daring rescue had already spread like wildfire, thanks to some campers who had witnessed the event from the shore.
Upon their return to the resort, the Hurt family was met with applause and admiration for their courageous act.
It emerged that the bear had been a known figure in the vicinity, struggling with the plastic container on its head for several distressing days.
Bears are powerful creatures, and approaching them can potentially lead to aggressive reactions.
However, in this instance, the family assessed the situation and realized the bear was more helpless than threatening.
