Beware of Teddy Bear's Vengeance!

I saw this news article and thought I was reading the onion or something.

Teddy Bear Kills 2,500 Fish In New Hampshire

(CBS4) MILFORD, N.H. A teddy bear dropped into a pool at a New Hampshire fish hatchery killed all 2,500 rainbow trout living in the pool.

Fish and Game Department hatcheries supervisor Robert Fawcett said the teddy bear, dressed in a yellow rain coat and hat, clogged a drain earlier this month at the Milford hatchery, blocking oxygen flow to the pool, and suffocating the fish.

The fish were worth a total of $1,232.50.

"We've had other things clog the line, frogs, birds, but we never expected a teddy bear coat to come out of the pool," said Richard Prunier, Fish Hatchery Superintendent.

Police are not involved. The Hatchery is waiting for someone to come forward collect the bear.

Fawcett urges anybody who drops objects into a hatchery pool, to find an employee to remove it. "They might save your teddy bear, and keep it from becoming a killer," he said.

The fish are raised for fisheries management, to provide a recreational fishing opportunity for people who purchase a fishing license.

You gotta keep an eye on those Teddy Bears...
