A call came into the 911 center just before 11:00 P.M. to report a trouble bear.
The first caller, at a residence on Howard Lane, called to report that a bear had just attacked and killed his dog. The bear then left the first caller’s yard and entered a neighbor’s yard.
The second caller happened to be that neighbor, and reported that the bear had entered his yard and was attacking his dog. The caller told the 911 operator that he had a firearm and he was preparing to use it on the bear.
Bradford Township officers and a unit from Bradford City responded.
At 11:02, the first officer on the scene from Bradford Township, called to the second Bradford Township officer, and requested that he go back to the station to grab the shotgun.
The 911 center stated that the Bradford Township Police had cleared from the scene shortly after the incident, but it was unclear as to exactly how they had dealt with it.

A bear in the air

(photo by KELLY STEMCOSKY) This bruin headed for high ground, climbing a tree on Main Street, Wellsboro on Monday evening. The animal was subsequently tranquilized, captured and eventually destroyed because of its aggressive tendencies.

[/align]A bear found its way up a tree around 8:30 p.m. Monday night, June 30, in front of Subway on Main Street in Wellsboro.

Crowds of people watched from the sidewalk as the borough police, members of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Game Commission worked to get the bear down safely.

Jacob Brink, 11, and Branden Enck, 10, said they saw the bear near Austin and Purple Streets just minutes before.

“It was walking right down Purple [Street]. It was huge,” said Brink.

If I find my dog getting attacked by a bear I will shoot first and worry about the consequences later. I am not going to wait for the police or anyone else to do it if I can save myhunting partner and best friend. My neighbor's goats had been killed by a black bear not too long ago. I do not feed bears, so they don't become dependent on mysupplied feedand less fearful of people resulting in cases such as these. Butbears are definitely increasing in numbers whilehabitat and resources are being reduced. Conflicts like these will undoubtedly increase. I feel we have enough bear and do not need their population to grow any further (at least in my area).
