(DAILY MAIL) The identity of the hunter who killed Pedals the bear with a crossbow will remain secret after the authorities in New Jersey refused to release it.
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection exclusively told DailyMail.com that revealing who shot Pedals would be a breach of their privacy - and even put their personal security at risk.
The department released the form filled in when the bear was brought in to a check-in station - but redacted the name of the hunter.
