AK: Homeowner Shoots Aggressive Bear

Bears that do not show fear of humans are dangerous

“The homeowner stated he saw the black bear on the front porch of his home, and tried to scare it off by loudly opening and shutting the front door,” Oistad wrote in the statement. “The noise did cause the bear to leave the porch but not to leave the property.”

The man’s dog was tied up in the backyard, Oistad wrote. Shortly after the bear left the porch, the dog began to bark and the homeowner saw the bear approaching the dog. He then went back outside and tried to scare the bear away, Oistad said.

“The bear growled at the homeowner at which time the homeowner shot and killed the bear,” Oistad wrote.
