Pedals, a bear that could walk upright in New Jersey, is thought to have been killed by a hunter with a bow and arrow last week. Lisa Rose Rublack, an activist who had led a petition to put Pedals in a sanctuary, said that state officials on the scene confirmed a carcass brought in by a hunter was Pedals, although the state’s official press office says biologists cannot conclusively confirm the animal’s identity, absent a tracking collar or a history of DNA records.
