Repeat after me: A bear is not a pet

Hasn't anyone seen "Grizzly Man"?

A Pennsylvania woman was killed by the bear she kept as a pet for 9 nines.

Here's the Associated Press article.

The woman, Kelly Ann Walz, was cleaning the cage when the 350-pound bear attacked her in front of her children and a neighbor's children.

Tim Conway, an information and education supervisor with the game commission, said owners of wild animals usually have a two-section cage, allowing them to isolate the animal behind a locked gate while they clean the other part.

"Why this woman chose to go in the same area that the bear was in is beyond me. It's a fatal mistake," he said. "These things are not tame animals; they're wild animals."

The family at one time kept an African lion, cougar, jaguar, tiger, bear, leopard and two servals on their property. A license to keep exotic animals had expired.

Seriously. Watch "Grizzly Man."
