Yogi raised a stink about his arrest because he termed it a “Clear case of ursine profiling.” Just because 99% of the pic-a-nic basket related crimes were committed by bears is no reason to assume that he was involved despite the fact that several looted pic-a-nic baskets were found outside his door. His loud and boisterous protest was seen by Ranger Smith as an attempt to rile up the other forest dwellers and he took the raving bear into custody before the situation got out of hand. Yogi protested that he was only arrested because he was a bear of color and that they would never have done that if he were a polar bear since they are always getting a break and are defended by the likes of Al Gore when all they do is eat salmon, seals and the occasional Canadian. He did not take into account that there is indeed a surplus of Canadians although most people feel bad about the seals.
