California Woman Has Bear Killed, Receives Death Threats

Three bears may once have tolerated a blonde little girl rummaging through their home, temperature-tasting porridge and falling asleep, but there is nothing charming in discovering the reverse.

A California mother is the target of death threats these days after she killed a bear for repeatedly breaking into her home. The animal was hanging out in her garage last month. It came through a bathroom window later that night. Armed with a permit to kill the animal issued by a game warden, a family friend killed the bear when it charged the house the next night.
