Default Shooting Bears

First, I should state that this is not a review of the food at the Bob House (formerly Grill 25) in Moultonborough. This is a review of the owners and their values and principals…or lack there of, which I think is equally important in a review of any business as people should know what kind of people are behind the business they are supporting. In fact I have not eaten there, but have been planning to after hearing from some trusted sources that the food there is quite good. That is until a friend told me the story outlined below. After hearing these facts for the first time I knew I could never support this business and would never be able to dine there. I also felt compelled to share this info with as many people as possible.

Next, I should also state that I am new to this forum but have been reading it on and off for about a year. I know that many comments and posts from newbies are taken with a grain of salt, but what I am about to outline is true and can be confirmed by several neighbors of this restaurant.

Finally, you should know that I am an animal lover, though I wouldn’t go as far to say I am a member of PETA or a vegetarian or anything like that. I just believe that animals have as much right to inhabit this planet as we do. One of the reasons I love NH is because of the many chances one has to see animals such as moose, deer, and bear. This brings me to my issue with the owners of the Bob House.

When the new owners first opened they were very excited by the fact that nightly they were, or should I say their inadequate trash receptacle was visited, by a black bear. Soon after the novelty wore off because apparently it made quite a mess (as bears will do) and unfortunately they had to clean it up. A real nuisance I’m sure, but not uncommon. I myself have had a bear rip through my trash on several occasions and have had to deal with cleaning up the colossal aftermath. I have solved the issue by storing my trash in an area that the bear cannot get to. I haven’t seen the bear since. Apparently this simple solution is too complex for the idiots who own this restaurant! Instead of ordering a dumpster with heavy metal lids to replace the bear friendly plastic lidded one they currently use, they decided to have a neighbor from across the street shoot the bear. In my opinion, a somewhat lazy and rather cruel approach to the problem.

The problem persists. Apparently there is another bear visiting their dumpster. Will they kill again???
