The bear necessities: chocolate and champagne


Bear breaks into home, eats chocolates
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN ANTONIO HEIGHTS, California - Deputies say a bear with an apparent sweet tooth broke into a San Bernardino County home and gobbled up a box of chocolates from a couple's refrigerator.

Sheriff's Sgt. Tom Alsky says the couple arrived home Saturday afternoon, found the bear chowing down in their kitchen and phoned for help.

The bear fled before sheriff's deputies arrived.

Alsky says the animal appeared to have pushed aside vegetables in the couple's fridge and gone straight for the two-pound (kilo) box of sweets.

He says the bear also tried to open a bottle of champagne but was not successful.

I've never understood why people want to live so close to the woods. I get the peace and tranquility of seeing nature but cant you just watch the Outdoor Channel? So I never really feel bad when some bear destroys a house because he smells candy. We need to weed out the animal sympathizers before the war starts anyway. Maybe we can hord all of PETA into a cabin and drop syrup on it from a helicopter.
