As a student at WCU, I beg you not to judge all of us based on this incident. Even from a conservative, this is a horrible, sickening act. There is NO reason for behavior like this. Many students, like myself, come from upper-middle class families and do not in any way condone this kind of thinking or behavior. We are college students working to better ourselves. Please believe that the students of Western Carolina are adamant that the individuals involved be brought to justice and punished to the fullest extent. There is no humor in what was done to the bear cub, regardless of the fact that it is bear season.
