It’s Illegal To Keep A Bear As A Pet…

…including but not limited to the black bear, grizzly bear, or brown bear. Conn. Gen. Stat. Sec. 26-40a.

I think the penalty for keeping a bear as a pet should be having one’s head examined but the legislature opted for a fine of not more than a thousand dollars per day and all costs associated with taking the bear from the bear’s keeper.

So if you’ve wished for a bear for Christmas you’re out of luck. Unless of course, it’s of the stuffed variety.

Judging by yesterday’s results, Bears are no match for Tom Brady.
