Goat massacre
Bear kills quickly, may return
Brownie, the only goat to survive the bear attack.
A bear, known to frequent the gardens and yards of Cowell Loop Road near Bayboro, turned vicious Friday night, entering a large pen and killing three of four goats owned by Jason and Julie Hannah.
Apparently lured by a large sack of feed outside the pen’s six-foot tall chain link fence, the bear scaled the enclosure and wantonly attacked the goats about 10 p.m. reported Jason Hannah, who stuck his .410 shotgun through the fence and fired.
