Overweight bears slim down after seizure in drug raid near Canadian border

Two bears, overweight and ailing with broken teeth and claws when they were seized in a marijuana arrest at the Canadian border, are back in the pink of health, their caretakers say.

Corky and Pumpkin, seven-year-old sows that weighed 135 to 180 kilograms rather than the normal 90 to 115 kilograms when they arrived at Sarvey Wildlife Center in January, are also in better spirits, refuge owner Kaye Baxter said.
