Target: Katie Scharf Dykes, Commissioner of Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection
Goal: Investigate circumstances and weigh potential charges in mother black bear’s shooting and death.
A beloved black bear who called Connecticut home was shot dead, leaving two orphan cubs behind. The bear, named Bobbi by locals, was so well-known in the Newtown region that a social media page dedicated to sightings of her had amassed over a thousand followers. Bobbi’s cubs have been taken to a rehabilitation facility, where they will be nurtured before being reintroduced to the wild in a few months. The circumstances around this mother bear’s shooting, however, remain less clear.
Authorities will only confirm that an off-duty and still-unnamed police officer was potentially involved with the shooting and that the incident took place on private property. Connecticut has strict laws against the killing of black bears, as shootings are typically only permitted in cases of self-defense. Black bear attacks, and especially attacks in this bear-heavy region, appear to be extremely rare.
Since the cubs’ fate is settled, attention should now focus on determining whether or not a crime was committed in this tragedy. Sign the petition below to urge a full and unyielding investigation.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Commissioner Dykes,
“The tragic and brutal killing of this mother black bear, leaving her orphaned cubs stranded, was preventable and unnecessary.” The director of Connecticut’s Humane Society offered these thoughts in regard to the shooting death of local bear Bobbi. Much of the recent attention regarding this case has centered around the health and care of the cubs left behind. These young animals are now safe, but the trauma of their mother’s passing will likely long remain.
They, and the fallen animal herself, deserve justice. Please stay vigilant in the investigation concerning this tragic incident. If the killing violated any Connecticut statute, recommend full charges that will affirm the importance of wildlife protection within this state.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

STOP PROTECTING THIS KILLER! Release his name, charge him/ fire him, has NO business wearing a badge or being around animals ever again!!! He’s a menus to society, to our ailing environment and wildlife, an animal killer and will strike again! Toss him in a deep dark cell and throw away the key. That’s better than he deserves. He killed an innocent mother bear with babies, who are now without her. They are left with trauma and emotional pain! Swift Karma SO NEEDED ASAP!
Totally agree with you Laurie. Street Justice would be best, the sort the heathen won’t recover from, he is too wicked to be on earth
Thank You Karan!! My thoughts exactly. Eye for an eye.
I agree 100%! No need what so ever for this female off duty police officer who should now the laws to have done this! She was not in danger!
A thug in blue did this. I am not surprised. They are mostly comprised of psychos. Life w/o parole for that scumbag or death by firing squad.
I definately agree with your comment Laurie.

I totally agree, Laurie. This godd… terrorist has to be thrown into jail, where rather bad men stay, who have to lose nothing, but love and adore animals. They will teach this scum-subject his one and only lesson.The poor mum, the poor babies. And this monster is alive….! Genesis, what are you spitting out?????
Dear Commissioner Dykes,
COPS INVOLVED IN COWARDLY MURDER CASES LIKE THIS ONE, SHOULD BE SENT DIRECTLY TO PRISON FOR LIFE … THEY DO NOT BELONG IN THE POLICE CORPS THEY DO NOT HONOR THEIR OATH OF ‘TO SERVE AND PROTECT’!
THANK YOU!
I AGREE, THEY ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW. WATCH THEY WILL SUGAR COAT IT, AND LIE, JUST PISSES ME OFF.
Dear Commissioner Dykes,
WE TRUST THAT YOU WILL HAVE NO COMPASSION WITH SOMEONE AS COWARDLY AS THAT POLICEMAN PARTICIPATING IN THAT HORRIBLE IGNOMINUOS COWARDLY CRIME WHEN DICTATING SENTENCE, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THAT HE HAS ALSO DISHONORED THE UNITED STATES POLICE FORCE, WHO SWEAR “TO SERVE AND PROTECT”!
WILL YOU, PLEASE?
THEY ARE TO ABIDE BY LAW ALSO, THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS THERE IS MISTRUST BETWEEN CITIZENS AND LAW ENFORCMENT. TO INTENSIONATLY DO MB THIS IS JUST PURE CRAP.
That bastard must be fired & never be allowed to be a cop anywhere in the world, must spend 10 years in prison with no early parole, must pay a $500,000 fine, and be banned for life from owning, firing, or using any guns or other weapons
I AGREE.
10 years is not adequate. A minimum 50 year sentence is a good start. $500,000 will wipe out many people, but find out it is more so it can be 99% of all assets or $500K, whichever is greater.
Ill born bastards like this cop, should be eliminated from the face of the earth!
I agree‼️
Despicable people like this bastard should be deprived of their miserable existence so they won’t hurt anyone anymore, being that a human being or an animal – fortunately this criminal can still be sent to prison for life!
I’AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF THESE FREAKING MONSTERS KILLING INNOCENT ANIMALS AND THEN TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR MURDER. I THINK THIS COWARD NEEDS TO BE IN PRISON FOR A LONG TIME AND THESE ‘JUSTICES’ NEED TO STOP SHITHOLES LIKE THIS FROM EVER DOING THIS AGAIN. I DON’T GIVE A FUCK IF IT’S PRIVATE PROPERTY- YOU SCARE THE BEAR AWAY WITH A WARNING SHOT.
Qtard. He is a Republcunt like you.
Agree with you %100 don’t let some try and confuse the issue, people are gun happy but the old idea of warning shots works well I’d say!
Qtard. tRumps evil spawn will be facing felony charges.HE PAID TO KILL TREASURED BEAR WITH TWO CUBS.
I don’t care whether this is a cop or not – He must be prosecuted for killing an innocent mother bear and he should be given a long jail sentence and fired as other people have mentioned here. He had no regard for the protection of wildlife and respect for a mother bear trying to take care of her cubs. Pathetic If you just give this guy a slap on the wrist – He deserves to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and lose his job for such a horrible act of animal abuse!
Prosecute the shooter
Please, justice for Bobbi
Everyone on this site seems to want this mother-fucker dead. So, who’s going to step up to the plate and do it? I would say no one on this site is willing to do it. They always want someone else to do it. But it makes them feel good to spout off about wanting him or her dead. But they’re definitely not going to eliminate him or her. They don’t have the guts. So, just keep on venting with your words, that don’t mean shit, and will never take care of the problem.
Are you willing to do it? Anyone that lives close enough should do it. But I am in favor of trying him or her and executing them or life, no parole.
I do not think it is legal for people to take the law into their own hands and enforce capital punishment in the neighborhood. Obviously. If they could it would be acceptable at times probably. At other times probably not.
I will never go to jail for a pos. So no. Would not take a life.
Being a cop doesn’t mean that he’s an angel or a noble crime fighter. It’s a job like anything else. The current psychological tests for would be cops are not 100% perfect. The keen smart (or NEPOTISM) blood thristy cop will mask his lethal desires during psychological screenings. Very hard to catch these guys, until something like this happens. On top of that, you also have powerful police union protecting one of their own. The police union has political clout in distorting the truth; like when that Black guy was murdered in Staten Island by the NYPD (for selling cigarettes). The murderous cops were able to avoid jail time (and job loss), because of their union (and police higher ups) distorting the truth.
Since the camera cell phone, many bad cops are getting caught in the act of evil. But, the general public is still brainwashed into thinking that a police officer is “is the good guy”.
The thugs in blue need to pay for it. Life, no parole or death by firing squad.
Mother bears are very protective of their young,why was it necessary to kill her? This case needs to be investigated. If on private property why wasn’t animal control called? Was the bear attacking someone?
Guess who paid to kill treasured bear and is facing felony charges? tRumps evil spawn. Her cubs willbe next.
Everyone. Please look for petition at Change.org. tRumps pos spawn will be facing charges for paying to kill treasured bear.
a NO-BRAINER — we have OPTIONS — Killer Officer could’ve CHOSEN NOT to KILL Bobbi — for some, it is EASY to KILL (I wonder where he stands on HUNTING?) — Bobbi’s life had VALUE & IMPORTANCE — we could’ve transferred Bobbi & her Babies to another safer locale — we expect BETTER from Officers — MAKE HIM PAY!
YOU `PEOPLE` REALLY ARE THE PITS. I WOULD TRUST AN ANIMALS ANY DAY OVER YOU. DISGUSTING IS BEING POLITE.
YOU HAVE NO PLACE ON THIS EARTH NOW AND WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT, DOESNT MATTER, THE KARMA YOU MADE FOR YOURSELF WILL….I SAID WILL…FIND YOU.
NOW WILL SOMEONE DO THE RIGHT THING AND PROTECT ANIMALS FROM THESE DISGUSTING, LOWLIFE EXCUSES FOR HUMANS….NOW.
SHAME ON ALL OF YOU WHO KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING AND DO NOT DO A THING….YOU ARE BAD AS THESE MORONIC LUNATICS.
SHAME ON ALL OF YOU…SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON YOU ALL.
I would save an animals life before a humans. This is what years of hearing of evil animal abuse has done.
Why are Americans so trigger-happy, and so determined to wipe every living thing off the face of the earth? Are they sicko wannabee Davy Crocketts? Why can’t they look to the future – instead of always dwelling the past?
Putting this scumbag on leave isn’t enough. Behind bars would be better:

Like I have said before THE LAWS MUST BE CHANGED TO PROTECT THE ANIMALS. Punishment must be dealt out swiftly and severely to the abusers.
They should post the name of this scumbag as well as his address. He probably killed that poor Mother Bear Just for kicks and he should have his feet held to the fire.
