40 years ago, that family would have had a new bearskin rug. Now, if they did that, the young lass would probably be in jail.
“She had the best chance when the near was precariously balanced.”
Stupid girl - her “best chance” was to stay in the house - dogs are replaceable.
Ha!!
“She acted fast and decisively.”
She acted impulsively. I hope she learns from this and stays inside next time.
You do so something like that to save a child - not a dog.
You obviously don’t understand the love some have for a pet.
The girl has heart.
She succeeded. Period.
“The girl has heart.”
I agree... a heart is not what she’s lacking.
Man I didn’t know bear were that close in to LA
Hear hear
There are no warriors here.....some ex warriors
We had a couple posters killed in WOT

This is grumpy over 50 forum
Sheepdog material... one of us.
Black bears are occasionally seen in Tujunga, which is within LA’s city limits. The last California grizzly bear killed in Southern California was shot in Tujunga Canyon in 1916.
Incidentally, black bears are not native to Southern California. They were introduced in 1933 during the governorship of James “Sunny Jim” Rolph.
“The species “brown bear” doesn’t exist in California. If it had been a brown bear, she probably wouldn’t be alive.”
Well it’s still on our state flag at least...
What may be the last California Grizzly was killed near Trabuco Canyon back in 1908.
I’m surprised that they haven’t been reintroduced, so that along with our OC mountain lions they can thin out the herd of mountain bikers.
“Also, their habitats are being invaded by humans who don’t belong there.”
That area was developed over 100 years ago. It just happens to abut the Angeles National Forest.
Bradbury is about 10 miles east of Pasadena. Near the junction of the 605 and 210.
Why don't they re-introduce the grizzly bear to California? After all, they re-introduced the Mexican wolf into New Mexico, to the delight to that state's sheep ranchers, and the timber wolf, which the cattle ranchers just love, into the Northern Rockies.
“wonder how the keyboard warriors that are criticizing her would react if they were in the same situation...”
‘Honey, a bear ate the dogs.’
exactly
“Why don’t they re-introduce the grizzly bear to California?”
The same lunatics who have been celebrating the return of adult Great White sharks to the shores of Orange County will undoubtedly ask themselves that same question. And decide that it needs to be done.
Brown bears were once in Cali but haven’t existed there for at least a century.
