A brazen black bear and her two cubs broke into a Nanaimo home over the weekend, helping themselves to a bowl of fruit, a bag of granola, some pet food, cocoa powder and salted caramel syrup.
“We’re used to seeing bears here and I’ve broken a lot of wooden spoons banging on pots to scare them away,” said Kellam, a Nanaimo optometrist. “But we’ve never had anything like this.” Jacqueline Kellam got out of bed to investigate, saw a bear cub in front of her, three feet away, and screamed “bear.” Her husband pulled her back in the bedroom, slammed the door and called 911.
“Times sort of slows down and it seemed like forever … it had snowed a lot that night and we live in a steep area and I was thinking the police aren’t going to get here,” said Kellam. Kellam said the smallest cub was in the house for about an hour, while the mother bear and other cub were inside for about 35 minutes before making their escape just before police arrived.
The next day, in the early morning hours of Sunday, Kellam woke up to see a vehicle door open in the driveway.
Don't kill them, FFS.
