"Bite Me!"

Arkansas Game & Fish Commission Information Officer, Kim Cartwright, learns that one must watch one’s language around baby bears. They, like baby humans, are quite literal. Some have thought that Virgil has been hard on the Commission in the past. He has, in fact, been fair and balanced. Virgil reiterates that they are not all bad. He, and his beloved, give a big Virg n’ Mary salute to Kim, the Commissioners, Director Scott Henderson, Communications Director Nancy Ledbetter, Wildlife Management Division Chief Doyle Shook, Public Affairs Coordinator Steve "Wild Man" Wilson and the many others at Game & Fish who saved and nurtured this orphan of a species once extinct in Arkansas. Though Virgil’s access to information within the agency is limited, he understands that if they don’t find the bear’s mama, it will be trained to live in the wild and will be released upon graduation.
