Archie the toothless 41-year-old bear is put to sleep after a last meal of a cream-filled doughnut and tapioca pudding | 21 Dec 2015 | A beloved toothless, 41-year-old bear in the middle of a permit dispute between his owners and the state was put to sleep last week after finishing a last meal that included a cream-filled doughnut. The black bear named Archie had been in failing health for months and wasn't expected to live through hibernation, said owners Jeffrey and Debra Gillium. He was euthanized by a veterinarian on Friday after the Gilliums gave him a big breakfast of dog food mixed with tapioca pudding and a doughnut. The Gilliums had fought to keep Archie despite failing to get a permit when Ohio tightened rules for keeping dangerous animals. They argued that the bear was old and unlikely to escape his fenced enclosure near Lodi, roughly 40 miles southwest of Cleveland.
