MONTECITO, Calif. - Yet another black bear has made an appearance in southern Santa Barbara County.
This large bear was caught on camera roaming through Montecito Thursday night.
The bear even broke into a resident s chicken coop where it proceeded to kill eight of the birds.
“I would like to co-exist with the bear, but not have him eat our chickens. We are trying to do some aversive therapy,” said resident Penellpe Bianchi.
Bianchi said her property sits right next to a local wildlife sanctuary. She said the bear has been spotted before at properties near Miramar Beach.
Several residents also caught a bear on their security cameras wandering through their yards and sheriff s deputies believe this is the same one.
