West Virginia mascot, who killed bear, told to stop hunting with university-issued musket

CHARLESTON, W.Va.--West Virginia University has ordered its musket-toting mascot to stop using his university-issued weapon on hunting trips after an online video showed him killing a black bear.

In the video, Jonathan Kimble is shown firing the muzzle-loaded long gun at the bear in a tree.



WVU spokesman John Bolt said officials spoke to Kimble about it and that the mascot broke no laws.

This year's mascot is a bit much for me. He's borderline psychotic.

Let the boosters chip in and buy him a blackpowder rifle of his own, you know this is probably because of someone who sees wildlife as Disney characters weeping for the poor lil bear....

If you shoot a bear you're an *******.

They're a unique breed up there in Morgantown.

Why shoot a bear in the first place?

[Major Harris]

I don't own a gun or hunt but are people actually unaware that people hunt bear?

[heyholetsgogrant]

It's going. And if you watch it you are a big part of a lot of what is wrong with tv and our society in general. Same as jersey shore, which I never watched.

And n
Serious question, and I'm not the angry oppressed white dude, but are only white people fair game for the overblown stereotype shows?

I don't hunt so I don't have energy to argue in defense of it but you are making a very broad, judgmental blanket statement
