Madel said Maples darted the bear with a tranquilizer but the drug, diffused by the bear's thick fat layer, was slow to take effect.
Madel and Maples together on Sept. 25 moved the first culvert trap and a second unit up onto the porch of the home, right in front of one of the windows that the bear had broken.
Madel said Kearns identified the bear as the one that had caused the commotion - and generated worldwide publicity for Letterman who usually keeps a low profile when he is staying here.
The Vice-Chancellor of the University, Sir David Williams, stated that he looked into the matter but feels it is, "in essence, a difference of opinion on a scientific matter between (myself) and (my) former colleagues"; on such a matter he feels he cannot intervene.
Sir David was asked for a copy of the University's code of practice, with particular regard to the publication of false or misleading statements in the scientific literature, and for a statement of its procedures for investigating complaints.
Sir David seems to suggest that reporting three as two is an opinion but this is clearly not so, it is a falsehood and such reporting is prohibited by every relevant code of practice known to this author.
