Pet bear kills Pennsylvania woman

(CNN) -- A 37-year-old Pennsylvania woman died Sunday after being mauled by her pet black bear, authorities said.

Kelly Ann Walz was attacked when she entered the bear's cage to feed the 350-pound animal and clean its cage, according to Pennsylvania State Police. The bear lived in a 15-by-15-foot steel and concrete enclosure on Walz's property in Ross Township.

The bear wasn't the only unusual animal living on the property, an official with the State Game Commission told CNN affiliate WFMZ-TV. The homeowner had a permit to keep a Bengal tiger and an African lion, and the property routinely passed inspection and had no violations, he said. Video Watch what neighbor saw at victim's house »

A neighbor shot and killed the bear that attacked the owner, state police said.

An investigation continues.

how sad....I would never have a pet that could easily kill me...like a bear or tiger.

Shocking.

Who would have thought caging a wild animal would piss it off?

When will mfers learn there's a reason they're called WILD animals, and should not be in cages?!?!?!

If only she had watched "Grizzly Man" the feel good movie with the twist ending no-one could have seen coming!

Pet and bear does not go together.

I don't want to sound harsh and uncaring but it sounds like she might have been a bit twatish.

I know, right...that gave the bear way too much room to move around...the smaller the cage, the easier to keep those stupid fucking animals in check...
