Pet Bear Kills Woman

(Oct. 5) — A 37-year-old Pennsylvania woman died Sunday after being mauled by her pet black bear, authorities said.

Kelly Ann Walz was attacked when she entered the bear’s cage to feed the 350-pound animal and clean its cage, according to Pennsylvania State Police. The bear lived in a 15-by-15-foot steel and concrete enclosure on Walz’s property in Ross Township.

Shocker! Do people really think that it’s okay to keep a bear as a pet? That’s exactly like keeping any other proven dangerous, wild animal as a pet. I don’t understand what is wrong with people today. I saw another article about a wolf-dog that ate a baby, and I can’t help but notice how these stories tend to repeat themselves.

Roy gets eaten by a tiger, Carla Nash gets her hand eaten by a monkey, a baby gets eaten by a wolf, and now a woman who owns Bengal Tigers and African Lions gets eaten by a bear. I never heard the story about the viscous house cat, but that’s probably because a house cat is a normal pet.

Stop treating wild animals like pets and this kind of thing wouldn’t happen as often. I’m not saying this woman deserved what she got, I’m saying that it was her fault.
