450-pound bear reportedly killed in self-defense in Connecticut
Fox News
Police in Connecticut are investigating the fatal shooting of a 450-pound, adult male black bear whose killer claims the act was done in self-defense.
The shooting comes a year after the General Assembly passed legislation that explicitly allows someone to use deadly force to kill a bear in Connecticut if they reasonably believe it’s inflicting or about to inflict great bodily harm to a person, a pet or is entering an occupied building.
Some state legislators, concerned about the increase in human and bear interactions in Connecticut, had hoped the legislation would have gone further and included a bear hunt and restrictions on people unintentionally feeding the hungry animals.
