A Montana Woman Attacks Bear with a Courgette




A woman from Frenchtown in Montana courageously fought a 91 kg charging black bear using a courgette. Hearing noises in the night, the woman went outside to deal with the commotion only to find a bear attacking one of her pet dogs.

Courgette

Lt Rich Maricelli, the Missoula County Sheriff said that the black bear had attacked the dog on the back of the woman’s house on Wednesday night. As she tried to end the bear attack, the huge animal turned on her, biting her leg. She started screaming and desperately clutched the only weapon she could lay her hands on, a courgette, foot long, from her garden. The unnamed woman then threw the courgette at the animal, hitting it around the head about 4 feet away.

However, the heroic woman is yet to seek medical attention, as the authorities were carrying out searches for the bear.

‘Courgette’, a little heavy, is also known as ‘zucchini’.
