NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: An Unbearable Neighbor
Karen Noyes, 61, was convicted of harassing wildlife, sentenced to three years probation and forbidden to live in her home in rural OR for three years for feeding the black bears that ambled to her door and creating all kinds of havoc in her neighborhood, reports The Associated Press:
One hungry bear stormed a neighbor's barn and killed 60 turkeys. Another got stuck in a doggie door. …
Witnesses for the state testified that she had been warned to stop feeding the bears as early as 2003 but refused to listen. …
During the trial, neighbors testified they'd become frightened to walk outside their homes because her feeding had attracted so many animals.
Wildlife officials are attempting to chase the bears out of the area.
