The backyard in the video looks more suburban than rural.
The video says it was shot in Colorado.
We have been having issues recently, here on the Colorado front range, with bears coming into suburban areas looking for food and killing pets.
A bear is not a raccoon, he can’t actually live and hunt in a suburban area long term.
A local man is currently facing charges for shooting a bear in a suburban area while it was attacking his dog.
I have to pay taxes whether animal control comes out and does its job or not.
If this bear was attacking my dog, it would be worth the legal hassle to shoot him, for a deer it is not.
Period.
Bummer for your family not rating the same protection as your dog, once a feral bear knows it can come, hunt, feed and safely leave your backyard as it pleases.
