Less than one month after a famous Yellowstone wolf was shot and killed by a hunter, another beloved animal has suffered the same fate.

The skeletal remains of Cinder the black bear were found near Leavenworth, Washington; the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife believes the bear was shot and killed by a hunter, reports KOMO News.

Cinder became a national figure in July 2014. According to the Associated Press, the bear, then just a cub, got caught in the devastating Carlton Complex Fire, which torched 400 miles of Methow Valley. Little Cinder was found hiding under a horse trailer with third-degree burns on her paws, which caused the cub to walk on her elbows.

From here, Cinder was flown to Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care in California to have her burns treated, though her chances of a full recovery seemed slim, reports CBS News.

He shot it and left the carcass there? That's not hunting.

heartbreaking...

2. Yes, it's sad. Perhaps Cinder had lost some of her fear of humans.

For animals living in the wild there is always the risk of death during hunting season. But animals really live in the big now and while we are sad at the passing of some we've come to know, they have no idea they could have lived years longer. Perhaps the hunter shot and wounded her but could not find her.
I have never hunted, I just never could do it. But man has so upset the balance of nature so much to become the top predator that so much about nature is no longer natural. But all things die and we don't know anything about most of the animals in the wild that die or are killed.
