The California woman who is the first documented case of a fatal black bear mauling in the state was repeatedly harassed by the bear before her death.
Comment What Fox didn't copy from their sister site Daily Mail, "Miller turned down a depredation permit from the State Department of Fish & Wildlife - considered a last-resort option that allows the animal to be shot before it causes serious harm, as per the department."
She allowed the bear to live and paid for it with her life. What if it had attacked a neighbor instead of her? I love animals too, but I won't choose an animal over a human's life.
