Barry Penner is AWESOME!

I don’t know if you read the news at all, but there was a recent story that, on the surface, didn’t seem like it had anything to do with Barry Penner. I know, I know, I didn’t think it was possible either. But hold on, I’ll explain. During a recent raid on a grow op, the RCMP came across something a little… unusual:

But they also found about 10 bears that the owner appeared to be using to keep people from stealing any pot plants, said RCMP Sgt. Fred Mansveld.

“[Officers] soon noticed the bears were docile and tame,” Mansveld told CBC News.

(…)

Conservation officers now have to decide what to do about the bears, which might have to be destroyed because they have become too used to human food and contact, police said. – CBC News

Okay, so this still doesn’t really seem like a Barry Penner kind of story. But then I (or more accurately, a clever Barry Penner Superfan that send me an email) got to thinking… Barry Penner could just take care of the bears! Everyone knows he’s a friend to all animals, and who couldn’t use ten ferocious black bears to make sure the neighbourhood kids don’t steal your newspaper?

So I figured, this is theme week, so I may as well make the case for Barry Penner adopting the ten guard bears the only way I can: posting pictures of Barry Penner with terrifying animals! All this week: Barry Penner and his Animal Enforcers!
