Before coming to LAist in late 2021, I covered topics such as mental health, domestic violence and environmental issues for newspapers in Texas, Arizona and northern California. I turned my focus to climate coverage after reporting on the devastating impacts of rising sea levels on communities in the remote Sundarbans islands in India.

The agency could not confirm to LAist how the bear got in the house in each instance, but a La Cañada-Flintridge city spokesperson said in most cases when bears enter homes there, it’s through unlocked or open doors, windows or garages. “She did poop on our lawn and stick her claws in my furniture, and swim in my pool … and destroy a very expensive cake, but other than that, she did not harm us in any way,” Shakarian said.
