A homeowner in Colorado Springs was cited for feeding big game animals after a black bear entered the residence three times within two days.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife personnel trapped and euthanized the bear Friday night, the agency stated in a press release Saturday.
The bruin entered a Broadmoor home through an open door on Sunday. The neighborhood in the southwest Colorado Springs foothills is considered prime bear habitat by CPW staff. The homeowner found muddy paw prints on the home's floor and closed the door. However, the bear returned and opened the same door. This time the bear walked to the kitchen.
"The bear was reluctant to leave their kitchen," CPW stated."Only after yelling and banging pots and pans did the bear retreat and leave the home.""It's extremely fortunate no one was injured by this bear when it confronted the homeowners in the kitchen," said Tim Kroening, CPW's Area Wildlife Manager for the Pikes Peak region."This bear had become habituated to people, associating them as a food source.
