A Georgia man has been arrested for fatally shooting a black bear that came near his home several times and scared his dogs, local officials say.
Late on May 15, an unnamed resident of the Bent Tree community, about 60 miles north of Atlanta, shot the mother bear from a window of his home, according to officials. The man said that the bear came near his home three times that night, scaring his dogs and tapping on the glass door of his home before he shot it.
