(CNN) – A 37-year-old Pennsylvania woman died Sunday after being mauled by her pet black bear, authorities said.
Kelly Ann Walz was attacked when she entered the bear’s cage to feed the 350-pound animal and clean its cage, according to Pennsylvania State Police. The bear lived in a 15-by-15-foot steel and concrete enclosure on Walz’s property in Ross Township.
The bear wasn’t the only unusual animal living on the property, an official with the State Game Commission told CNN affiliate WFMZ-TV. The homeowner had a permit to keep a Bengal tiger and an African lion, and the property routinely passed inspection and had no violations, he said.
A neighbor shot and killed the bear that attacked the owner, state police said.
LoL thats what I thought at first like this was going to be a joke then I noticed it was Pet, Crazy story though and had a Lion and Tiger always thought those would be cool pets
ppl have those as pets with the glads removed. but like, when was the last time u read about a skunk mauling an adult and eating their face or something? its like a cat.
