VIDEO: Bear spotted in Chatsworth

Well hello there!
A bear seems to have made itself at home in a Chatsworth neighborhood and one homeowner captured some of its antics on video.
Dr. Alon Antebi told FOX 11 the bear has wandered the neighborhood since Labor Day.
The bear was seen cooling off in the pool and even hopping into the jacuzzi.
But Dr. Antebi says the bear also raids their outdoor kitchen and spills beer from the fridge.
There’s also concern that the bear is getting more aggressive.
“Yesterday we were having morning coffee and he came up literally three feet away from our glass door, our dogs started barking so he ran off, went into the pool, then jumped the fence.”
Animal control has told Dr. Antebi since he lives in the bear’s natural habitat there’s not much they can do unless the bear becomes more aggressive.
“Unless the bear becomes aggressive”!?! So sorry, once you’re dead, we’ll come to help you.
One article said it was a Grizzly. But in LA? Despite the color of the bear being light brown to tan, the body type is not that of Grizz. Blacks can range in color. Size can be deceptive. What do you think: Ursus americanus or Ursus arctos horribilis? Or maybe the Mexican Grizz isn’t really extinct?

Cinnamon brown. Grizzly has a shoulder hump and a broader face.

I say not a grizz.

If Animal control won’t deal with the problem then the solution is simple.
Shoot. Shovel. Shut up.

1) Chatsworth is the upper NW corner of L.A. City limits, bordering the surrounding hills. this is a plain old cinnamon-colored black bear, just dropping by. The nearest live grizzly outside the zoo is 1000 miles away, in the Yellowstone Basin. There hasn’t been one seen in SoCal for over a century.
2) Animal Control in L.A. is worthless. Diversity-hire civil servants, mainly tasked with picking up roadkill, and generally underqualified for even that.
3) “Aggressive” is “already in your yard”. Anything after that is self-defense, cupcake.
4) Forget the Three S solution. Your neighbors are liberal NIMBYs, fourteen times out of ten. For that matter, so is the jackass calling the city to solve a problem he should have reported in the past tense: “A bear was acting aggressively in my yard, and his habitat ends at my fenceline, so I shot his ass dead. Please come clean up the mess, or else I’m making him into a rug, and steaks.”
That’s how you deal with fuckwit officials in L.A. (Which is most of them.)
That’s 40 years of experience talking.
Followed by calls to your city councilman, and complaints to the Animal Control department director and the mayor for their personnel being incompetent and lazy, and endangering your family. Then you call the media, to make sure the message is driven well-home. Even in L.A., if it bleeds, it leads, as this story proves.

When I lived out that way, Simi Valley and Moorpark seemed relatively conservative. The thing about SoCal is so many remote (at least relatively) areas right up against urban. I had family in Sunland and that was really rural, but still in LA city.
