Bears In The Freezer
This item caught our eye here at your headquarters for authoritative information on the Animal Uprising™. The implications are terrifying. A bear in Nevada has unlocked one of the secrets that have kept humans on top in the great evolutionary game: Frozen treats.
Late into the night of Aug. 20, it seems a bear broke through a screen of an open kitchen window of the Leiken home in Lakeview.
"It may have been the scent of the melon (on the kitchen counter) that attracted the bear," Ron Leiken said.
The bear also helped itself to some tasty, sweet treats in the freezer. Frozen cookies, brownies and bread.
Leiken said his family, two adults and three children, ages 10, 8 and 6, living in the home never saw the bear.
"We will be keeping the windows closed from now on," he said.
However, at 10:45 p.m. on the evening of Aug. 21, Leiken heard a noise in the house and turned to see one of his two cats running down the hall with a very scared look on its face … then he saw the bear, in the kitchen.
"The light was on and I did have the window open for ventilation only and was going to close it before going to bed," he said. "I was still awake.
Ok, you say, so the bear has figured out there are things to eat behind the door. What's the big deal? Consider for a moment: the bear has, indeed, figured out that there are good things to eat are behind the closed door. That means that he will have told all his bear friends that. Bears are notorious gossips that way.
Just remember that the next time you're taking a shower in your shower stall.

I hope the bears keep in mind that they, too are made of meat.
Break into my freezer and … Bear. It’s what’s for dinner.
(I have eaten bear in Nova Scotia for real and it’s on the greasy side but very flavorful.)
