“My car is absolutely destroyed. I don’t know if it’s salvageable. My poor baby car. Look at those marks. Look at the seatbelt.” –Joseph Deel
Bummer way to get internet famous but Joseph Deel’s TikTok video of him releasing a trapped black bear from his car has been viewed over 20 million times in a week. The footage was taken in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, just up the road from Great Smoky Mountains National Park which is home to a thriving population of black bears. Great reminder to never keep any food items in your car if you live in bear country and to keep your doors locked:
