I think that dumping a bear–in a densely populated area!–is a bigger story, but that one is more because there wasn’t any attempt made AFAIK to notify relevant authorities. You aren’t supposed to just pick up road-kill animals without permission, since that could easily lead to poaching. And bear, in many states, tend to have much more tightly restricted hunting, since there are far fewer of them than deer.
(I see black bears on a near daily basis where I live, but I’m in rural Appalachia.)
