| Love Affair With A Bear Runs Afoul Of The Law |
A father and son take in a bear cub as a pet, raise it as a family member for two years, and get in trouble with the law. Hilarious quotes by the father and son:
"We're not lying about it," says Rocky Perkett, 54, in his thick backwoods drawl. "We lived with her. We loved her. We treated her like a daughter."
But that kind of love is illegal in Oregon, and last week police raided their home and took Windfall.
"Everything they done here was unlegal," Rocky Perkett says. "Since it's all unlegal, I hope they will bring her back."
The bear likes people too much to be released into the wild, Anglin says.
"We're hicks. We're mountain men," Perkett says. "We took her because she was dying and we loved her.
"The only thing we did wrong was love one another," he says. Ummm, I'm guessing that's not the only thing they did wrong with her. Ewwww.

Oh no! Come on now! Really! I mean to say! Not even American mountain men would try to shag a bear! Would they?
And is 'unlegal' a forensic concept much used in your judicial system. Sounds like something the White House would come up with. "What Scooter did may have been unlegal but it was not illegal"
