A 550-pound bear has been living under a California man's home for over a month, and the state's response? "Just wait it out." You can't make this up. California Department of Fish and Wildlife set a trap, caught the wrong bear, tried air horns that barely fazed the beast, then simply told the homeowner he's on his own. Meanwhile, the bear has destroyed his gas pipes, shredded insulation, and he's had no hot water since Christmas Eve. The best part? Another California man just got hit with a felony charge for shooting a wild turkey with a pellet gun. So let me get this straight—shoot a turkey, felony charges. Let a 550-pound tagged bear terrorize a homeowner? That's the state's problem to ignore. The homeowner is now suing for negligence and emotional distress, and honestly, he might have a case. What happened to basic government services? Why is Fish and Wildlife collecting paychecks if their solution is "good luck, buddy"? Let us know in the comments what you'd do with Yogi Bear camping under your house. Don't forget to subscribe and share this madness!
