Cornell students kill bear, bring it into residence hall to skin and butcher

ITHACA, N.Y. (WSYR) – Students at Cornell University in upstate New York are concerned after two undergraduates killed a bear and brought it back to their dorm hall, a spokesperson for the school said.

Over the weekend, the students, who are confirmed to have valid New York State hunting licenses, killed the animal and brought it back to a dorm building "for processing," the spokesperson wrote in a statement shared with Nexstar's WSYR.

"A police report was made when a complaint was filed late Sunday night," the spokesperson said.

Pictures circulating in the Cornell University subreddit allege to show the skinned animal laying on a tarp-covered table in what looks to be a shared kitchen area. Cornell's spokesperson was not immediately available to confirm the veracity of those photos.
