The Stupid News with Yankee Pete
A GRANDMOTHER USED A PILLOW TO SCARE OFF TWO BEARS THAT BROKE INTO HER HOUSE
Monday October 5th, 2009
Picture this: You're in your bedroom trying to fall asleep, when you open your eyes and see a MOTHER BEAR and her CUB standing over you. That's what happened recently to Sally Rebehn of Vail, Colorado.
Sally says, "I heard the door open to my room and I thought, 'Well, it's got to be Yoo-Hoo the family dog.' And I turn around and here was this big bear.
"I was screaming and she went up on her hind feet . . . I grabbed one of these pillows and I just slung it at her. And she turned around and she left."
At that point, Sally yelled to her son, Brian, who was upstairs watching TV, and he called 911. Meanwhile, the bears headed to the kitchen and started raiding the refrigerator.
Long story short, the police showed up and shot the bears with pepper balls to get them out of the house. The mother and her three cubs, two of which stayed outside, ran off into the woods. But the drama didn't stop there . . .
A week later, the bears came back and started clawing at the doors. But before they got inside, Division of Wildlife officials showed up and shot the bears with tranquilizer darts.
Two of the cubs were relocated. Sadly, the mother bear and the cub that broke into Sally's home had to be put down because they showed aggression toward humans. (KMGH News 7 - Denver)
