"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colorado — Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is investigating after someone illegally removed the head of a bear after it was struck and killed by a vehicle on Highway 285 sometime Wednesday evening.
The Colorado State Patrol in Golden said there was a crash involving the bear on the highway near Windy Point, which is between Indian Hills and Aspen Park, around 9:30 p.m. and troopers were called to respond several hours later.
