Concern is being expressed for the welfare of a bear that has been walking around for months with a snare around his head.
Michael Scheibler says the bear, he's named Anson and has fed for the past four years at his Emo wildlife sanctuary, showed up in July with the snare.
Scheibler fears he's now headed off to hibernate.
He says based on the wounds suffered so far, it's uncertain to say if the bear will make it through the winter.
Earlier efforts by the Ministry of Natural Resources to tranquillize the bear failed.
