Bear wanders into five Sierra Madre homes in two hours

Neighbors in Sierra Madre were rattled Thursday after a bear intruded into four homes and one garage before being diverted by police into the wildland, north of the city.

We're living in their "wild." Idk what that woman is talking about. We've encroached on their living space. It's kind of something you just understand if you live in Sierra Madre or don't move to the mountains...

It’s the bears planet too

[@wt3447]

Oh please just let the bear get the chicken. They were just hungry.

[@SeaTurtle515]

Wait, the bear crossed a line? But humans didn’t when they built their homes where bears were living? 🧐

Love hearing anything about my old wonderful Sierra Madre!👏 Those still living there are dearly blessed… Bonnie Burke

Beautiful Bougainvillea Backgrounds...& a Big Bad Bear running around

No one gets hurt, no bears get hurt 👍🏻 😢 hungry bears, sad 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I’m glad they got the bear to drop the chicken. Had it been a live chicken from someone’s backyard, then it would’ve been fine. This chicken comes from a processing plant and contains many more times the salmonella that a backyard chicken would have.

I love Bears. Id rather have Bears than the coyote problem. Coyotes are jerks

[@bilialeilan9038]

Which one would you prefer bite you around the neck while asleep?

[@Svelasc2]

Is he the bear they call "Oreo" in that area?

[@nannerz1994]

Looks like no one locks their house in Sierra Madre.

[@mkvp3794]

Seriously, people forget that bears have opposable thumbs and can turn door knobs

[@nerobaal6655]

Yes “ bears”.

[@daphnelu7]

They can easily break open your doors and windows. Locking your doors won't really do squat.

[@garygrinnkevich8021]

THE BEAR WAS CHICKEN. LOL🤣

[@user-zg1wz8fh8f]

The idiots in these neighborhoods film the bears instead of hazing them. Thinking the bears are cute, they let the bears become increasingly comfortable around people. And when one of the bears kills one of their pets or their loved ones, they'll only have themselves to blame.

[@draunt7]

Chill the fk out dude. This is the bear's original habitat. We're the ones encroaching on their space. We can protect people and their pets while preserving our relationship with nature.

And they all complain about using bear resistant trash cans. Every week, there's trash in the streets from bears scavenging. Yes it's an added expense, but that's the cost of living so close to so much wildlife. On top of that, the police & wild life officials rarely want to show up. We've literally had them tell us "If it's not hurting anyone, there's no reason to go out there." I honestly think they're showing up lately because there's been so much news coverage this year.

[@EricCarrJeetKunedo]

Five houses were planted in the bear's home.

[@vanessagarcia5777]

Very polite bear didn't do no damage?? It ripped the screen I would consider that damage!

[@SirenASMR_]

Poor bears don’t have enough natural food in the wild . Raw chicken most likely is bad for the poor bear . Glad he didn’t eat it .

[@thugblaster303]

Matter of time before the bears attack. They are too comfortable.

[@jokerace8227]

Bear crossed the line you toed.

Free food. 🐻 Need to Eat.

[@nerobaal6655]

Give it “Coca-Cola”

[@susanmumper8334]

Notice trash cans!!!!!! Trash day That’s why!

[@josephfroton2339]

This is a very seriously dangerous situation! Hungry grizzly bears are a dangerous threat to people & pets. Sounds like fish & game need to shrink the local bear population. Cute but deadly, especially breaking into houses!

[@jaydeedee1972]

The last grizzly bear in the region was killed in 1916. The last grizzly in California was killed in 1924. These are black bears which were introduced into the region in 1933. They are an invasive species in the Los Angeles area.

What is he going to buy it?
