Talk:Hamm's Bear

Untitled
In 2000, the St. Paul Pioneer Press newspaper voted the Hamm's Beer bear a runner-up in its "150 most influential Minnesotans in the past 150 years" contest.. So, who won? :) RickK 02:17 15 Jul 2003 (UTC)
 * I would assume 150 real people won, although I have to admit I didn't read the article that closely. *grin* - Hephaestos 02:19 15 Jul 2003 (UTC)
 * Oh. A runnerup.  I read that as the runnerup.  :)  I thought he was number 2 on the list.  Shows what happens when you're on too late at night.  :) RickK 03:06 16 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I love the Hamm's beer bear! Just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy....and buzzed! :)

Hamm's Bear at the Detroit Zoo?
I am new to discussing things on Wikipedia, so please forgive any potential faux pas....

I was just at the Detroit Zoo, and there is a black bear on display there who had been rescued. According to the Detroit Zoo, "Hamms the bear" had at one time been a mascot for Hamms Beer. When he was two, he was sold to a private individual in Iowa. For twenty years, he was kept in a small cage in the backyard and had been tormented by trespassing vandals. Hamms had even been stabbed in the nose by a pitchfork. The bear bit the owner and was to be destroyed, but an animal welfare organization; along with the Detroit Zoo stepped in and pleaded for his release. He is now learning to do basic bear activities at the zoo, alongside a couple of female bears.

Is this something that should be noted on this page? Thanks!Gretchen1111 20:20, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
