A 500 lb bear is much bigger than most African lions.

My feeling is that you can kill a bear unless it is running away. There is no second guessing in my book.
To: marktwain
Wow, I did not know that. I’m also surprised that a shotgun was enough to stop the bear.

He’s braver than me. If I saw a sleeping bear in my business establishment, I’d set a new speed record running in the opposite direction.

There are quite a number of bears in the tahoe region. They do get agressive during heavy snows and food gets short. I’ve seen the damage when they break in and tear up a kitchen.

When her husband shouted at the bear to ward him off the premises That's the part I don't get. Shoot him where he is, don't wake him up and give him any opportunities to kill you.

William Hunter, co-owner of Bacchi's Inn Restaurant, encountered the large bruin sleeping on the floor of the dining room. I hate when that happens.

"Wildlife officials confirmed this week that a Lake Tahoe man was legally acting in self defense when he used a shotgun to kill a 500-pound bear after the bruin allegedly attacked him 10 days ago inside his Lake Forest restaurant. " "ALLEGEDLY" !!! I can't believe how stupid the media is. They are so accustomed to not prejudging anything, especially if a gun was used in self-defense, that they can't believe a shopkeeper?
What are they going to do, wait for an inquest? Sheesh.

At 500lbs, this bear might be a good candidate for the taxidermist. It could be quite an attraction in the restaurant.

... the Hunters were well within their legal rights when shooting the bear For clarity, it should read "the restaraunteurs were well within their legal rights..."
Had the Hunters (big H) been hunters (little H), they'd probably be prosecuted
(or persecuted) for unlawful shooting.
