Hank the Tank, a 400-Pound Bear Behind Lake Tahoe Break-Ins, Is Captured

A female bear — and one of three known as Hank — was captured with her three cubs by California wildlife authorities. She was responsible for at least 21 home break-ins, officials said.
Hope she at least got some pic-a-nic-a-baskets.
That bear has trash panda vibes.
Kinda curious this happens one day later, makes you wonder: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/07/bear-escapes-from-crate-in-planes-cargo-hold-at-dubai-airport
I was wondering what was going to happen to her. Turns out she's going to a wildlife sanctuary!
This turns out to be a rare occurrence though, between 300 to 1000 "problem bears" are euthanized in the US every year. This one was saved because of the media attention she was attracting.
