This statement is not true. We read in the article that Warbuckle "refused to comment" on his case, which indicates that Warbuckle did not speak publicly regarding his situation.
This statement is not true. In the article, we read that Warbuckle was "released after posting the quarter million dollar bail". This means that Warbuckle left prison after paying the sum of money the judge demanded.
This is a true statement. In the article we read that Warbuckle's arrest could have "financial implications" for Warbuckle and for his business partners. The Delavigne Corporation is mentioned in the next sentence of the text as being vulnerable or susceptible to financial losses.
This is a true statement. In the article, we read that Ernest Marshall found a "shotgun shell lodged in the hindquarters" of the bear cub. A shotgun is a large gun, sometimes used for hunting, and a "shotgun shell" is the type of ammunition within it. A shotgun shell refers to the ammunition itself, and not just the casing of the cartridge. In this context, "lodged" means "stuck".
This statement is not true. Cinnamon is in "stable condition", which indicates that she is still alive. Also we read that veterinarians are "supervising (Cinnamon's) recovery", which is another clear indication that the bear is still living.
