Sad news for animal lovers: Hope, a black bear cub whose early life was chronicled in the BBC documentary 'The Bear Family and Me' and Animal Planet's 'Bearwalker of the Northwoods' has been killed by a hunter in Minnesota, according to a report in the BBC.
Hope's birth had been broadcast over the Internet by biologist Lynn Rogers. Later, wildlife filmmaker Gordon Buchanan filmed Hope as she was separated from and eventually reunited with her mother Lily.
It is believed that Hope was shot and killed in an area of Minnesota where hunting bears is legal. Hunters are discouraged from shooting bears who are wearing tracking collars, but Hope was the only member of her family not to be wearing one.

Old people do the darndest things. And whether it's host SNL, make sketch comedy ripe with sexual innuendo, riff on the Jersey Shore, tell dirty jokes, kvetch about pop culture, or review tech gadgets in an Onion-style newscast, it tends to be entertaining. Old People News: The Tech Report is one of the latest iterations of the internet exploiting octogenarians to comedic effect. Dolly Beck (Lynn Rogers) and Charlie Megler (Arthur Anderson) broadcast live from a Floridian nursing home's quiet room, reporting on all the new gadgets, gizmos, and whatchamacallits hip with the kids these days. The series is a spin off of Old People News, a Kevin Maher production and Atom.com original that debuted on the Comedy Central-owned online destination in January of 2009. The Tech Report will span eight episodes, released over the the next two weeks, all riddled with mispronounced brand names, archaic technological references, and ill-informed consumer critiques.
