with this Kodiak bear in the mission that I'm currently writing? It's drugged with various substances, including hallucinogens, sedatives, and other things. I'm tempted to just leave it in a wildlife preservation, but I'm worried about leaving it drugged up. Any suggestions?

Donate it to a petting zoo? by

If it's drugged up enough, it may even let the kids ride on it. Glod knows I wanted to ride on a bear when I was younger.
Then again, my first bee sting was from petting the bee, so maybe not. -

They have a veterinary ward, right? And Medical has to be ready for anything, since so much weird stuff happens in fics. I bet they have something that can remove those drugs.
Though really, I have no idea what a bear with withdrawal symptoms would be like. Could be trouble. -

that is, if its metabolism is functioning.
A zoo may have more experience dealing with bears that have been treated badly. For instance, in Eastern Europe dancing bears were a circus attraction. Bears were abused to get them to dance.
In zoo that has such bears may also know how to deal with a drugged up Kodiak bear. Perhaps they can keep it separate from other bears while it goes cold turkey. -

This is its home fic, and it got drugged up because of some poachers who wanted to hunt it.

A zoo that has Kodiak bears should have a vet on staff that can handle their health issues. Treating the sedative overdose shouldn't be a problem, they've got to be prepped for a goof with the trank guns. The hallucinogens are what's worrying me. For that, you pretty much need the best bear vet around, and I have no idea where you'd find him/her.

Probably tastes better than what's available in the cafeteria.
