This squatter was hard to bear.
We have reported here on TGP about the peculiar predicament of a Los Angeles man who has a massive, 550-pound bear living under his house for 37 days.
Now, the unwelcome dweller has finally ‘left the building’ — after being shot at with paintballs.
The New York Post reported:
“Altadena homeowner Ken Johnson has been living with the massive black bear under his home since Nov. 30 when it began squatting in his crawl space. The “unbearable” roommate ruined Christmas for Johnson and had him on edge for weeks.
Homeowner Ken Johnson first became suspicious after noticing items around his Altadena property knocked over or damaged.”
Johnson was angry at California authorities for their failed attempts to remove the beast – but help was on the way.
“The bear eviction finally happened Tuesday after Johnson contacted ‘The Bear League’ — a group from Lake Tahoe that specializes in bear removal emergencies’.”
The bear that’s been living underneath an Altadena home for almost two months has finally been removed.
The bear’s whereabouts remain unknown as of Thursday afternoon. https://t.co/7eFtM1Nz4M pic.twitter.com/VF47KGYOxk

“’We heard about Ken, we felt bad for him and flew down and got the bear out’, said Ann Bryant, the founder and executive director.
The crew jumped into action, firing paintballs into the crawl space until the bruin had enough — retreating from its den. ‘The bear was gone in 20 minutes’, Bryant said.”

Bryant said her organization does between six and eight bear extractions a day.
“Johnson told The Post he quickly covered the crawl space with two layers of plywood and sandbags to prevent the bear from ever coming back. The Bear League also placed an ‘electric mat’ in front of the crawlspace designed to give a small shock if stepped on.”
