In a bizarre incident, a woman in the US state of Kentucky woke up to a bear breaking into her home and leaving with her leftover KFC meal on the kitchen table. Kendra North was asleep when the animal entered her house, but her sister, who lives next door, witnessed the bear leaving the premises around 5 am on Thursday (Aug 13).
Upon answering the call, North finally learned what had transpired in her home. John Hast, Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Bear Program Coordinator, noted that outdoor food sources are a primary driver of these interactions. “If you store pet food or if you feed your dogs outside, just think about that. Make sure you’re not leaving any out on the porch, and that’ll keep the bear from just coming right in and getting an easy meal.”
“I answered the call, and she was like, ‘Bro, there’s a bear, and it just walked out of your house, and it came down your steps,” North said. “It came and looked at me, dead in the eyes, on my side of the yard.'” North said it must have been a big bear who was likely drawn into her home by the leftover food she had left on the table. “I’m a little sad over my KFC,” North said.
Bear Intrusion in Local Home
A couple in North’s neighborhood experienced an unexpected visitor when a bear entered their home. They had inadvertently left their front door open on a night when their living room and kitchen lacked air conditioning. After retiring to their bedroom for the night, they were unaware that the bear had wandered inside until it was too late.
