📺 VIDEO | Was Contractor Responsible for Dead BEAR Found in Trash Bag

A disturbing incident unfolds as a Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) contractor reportedly confesses to mishandling a deceased black bear discovered in a plastic bag along Arlington’s Curtis Memorial Trail.

Initially struck and killed by a vehicle on I-66 in Prince William County, the bear’s fate took a disturbing turn when the contractor allegedly neglected proper disposal procedures, opting to unlawfully discard the animal’s body over an overpass onto the trail.

The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources is reportedly considering taking action for this alarming transgression. Animal welfare activists have expressed astonishment at encountering such a situation, emphasizing the unprecedented nature of discovering a dead bear sealed within a trash bag.

The contractor has reportedly expressed remorse for the error and pledged to conduct comprehensive retraining sessions to ensure employees adhere to appropriate protocols when handling deceased animals.

Nevertheless, the community’s response has been one of outrage, with residents condemning the disrespectful treatment of wildlife and demanding accountability for the contractor’s actions.
