The 400-pound black bear waddled off the front deck of Lynne Gravier's hillside home in Mendocino County and ambled toward the kind-hearted woman who, until recently, fed him every day of his life.
"That's Wombat!" cried Gravier, 76, as she stepped out of a car and limped with a cane toward her favorite bruin, tears forming in her eyes.

It turns out that the ursine food dispensary that Gravier had set up on the 40 acres of woodland that she owns east of Laytonville was not only ill-advised, but also illegal.
