ASHEVILLE, N.C. — A wildlife group in North Carolina is offering a $5,000 reward to identify a person they say is responsible for putting a “Trump 2020” sticker on the collar of a bear.

“Bears are NOT Billboards!” Help Asheville Bears said on a Facebook post Friday while announcing the reward.

Bears are NOT Billboards! Second black bear in Asheville,NC confirmed with political sticker on tracking collar….

The group said they received pictures that showed the sticker on the animal in Asheville, a city about 274 miles (441 kilometers) west of Raleigh. The bear had been “trapped, tranquilized and collared unnecessarily,” the post said.

The Asheville Citizen-Times previously reported a bear was found in the city last year with a similar sticker.
