So in Florida, it seems that it is perfectly ok to stalk and shoot a 17 year old black kid armed with Ice Tea and Skittles, but apparently shooting a 400 lb black bear that is trashing your house renders you liable to prosecution.
A Florida man shot and killed a 400-pound black bear after it broke into his house two nights in a row to get to a bag of dog food.'I felt in danger enough that since it wouldn't leave I had to shoot it,' said Victor Peters of Lady Lake of the Wednesday night incident in a video interview posted online by the Orlando Sentinel.
Killing a bear in Florida is illegal and Mr Peters could now face charges. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation will be handing the case to prosecutors early this week when they will decide whether to take the issue further.
I am reminded of the woman who gets 20 years for firing a warning shot, whereas if she had killed the guy she would have walked because of stand your ground.There is something very wrong in Florida
