Black bear interrupts a family being outside in Connecticut

Kristin Lee who is a resident of Simsbury Connecticut was outside of her home with her family members who included her nine year son and two year old nephew on Wednesday August 21 saw a black bear walking through the yard.
The good news is that the bear only wanted to have some food to eat and the bear no interest in harming any humans when the bear visited the Lee home.
My guess is that the bear saw a home where he or she thought that there would be some food to eat since the homes of the bears are being taken away from them by humans in the name of progress.

The bear did see any food and left the area quickly.

@rakski I am in agreement with you since bears need to eat food when they see food.

I understand that bears cannot stand noise.

@Deepizzaguy They like to avoid people. The noise lets them know we're there.

So am I happy that no one was harmed when the bear passed into the neighborhood.

Poor bear. Had it been my home I would have tossed it any kind of leftovers I could,

It's a stark reminder that we humans are often the root cause of these encounters. As we expand and take over their natural habitats, these animals have no choice but to wander into our spaces in search of food and shelter. It's really important for us to find a balance that respects wildlife too.

Lucky the bear was not interested in them, I hope humans become sensible enough and stop greed for wildlife space. The same happens here in Kenya. The Mara has been encroached, Nairobi stands on land once owned by Lions.

I am in agreement with you that humans need to have kindness toward the homes of bears and other animals.
