Homeowner Kills Bear On His Porch
Tom Reyburn, a homeowner in Lake City, Colo. shot and killed a mother bear this week, but it was an action that the Colorado Division of Wildlife says could have been avoided.
The man who shot the mother bear is not to blame, the DOW said, and he was not cited.
However, the community is responsible because the bear and her two cubs were given easy access to food in town and were too familiar with human contact, said Lucas Martin, district wildlife manager for Lake City.
(The whole community is responsible; but the man who shot the bear is not.)
