The Associated Press reports that the state of Vermont "almost lost" Democratic Governor Peter Shumlin to pack of hungry bears earlier this week.
Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin says he was chased and nearly caught by four bears that were raiding his birdfeeders. …
Shumlin says he ran out barefoot in an attempt to rescue his birdfeeders. He says one of the bears charged him on the porch.
Shumlin tells the Valley News editorial board that Vermont "almost lost the governor." He says he was within "three feet of getting ‘arrrh.'"
It is not known whether any of the bears were harmed.
