Woman fights bear with courgette
Now that's a thread title! 
Quote:
A woman from the US state of Montana has fought off a 200lb (91kg) black bear with a courgette from her garden.
The bear attacked one of the woman's dogs on the back porch of her home late on Wednesday evening, Missoula County Sheriff's Lt Rich Maricelli said.
When the woman tried to stop the attack, the bear bit into her leg.
The woman, whom police have not named, grabbed the closest object - a courgette from her garden - and threw it at the bear, causing it to flee.

Re: Woman fights bear with courgette
Well done to her, although it does sound like something on the Monty Python show..

Re: Woman fights bear with courgette
Sorry I just couldn't help but laugh at the way she got it to run away. In all seriousness though I hope she is ok and wish her a rapid recovery from the bite.

Re: Woman fights bear with courgette
When I first read the title I thought:
"why would a bear have a courgette?"

Obviously the bear didn't like his greens!

A carrot would have been much better. Silly bear.

Re: Woman fights bear with courgette
Could you imagine the outrage if she had used a hamster?

You mean, like taking a small dog with you when taking a walk near alligator-infested swamps?

Sorry - I didn't mean to imply that you, personally, did such reprehensible things.
