Two grizzly bears — a mother and a male cub — were captured and euthanized in Montana after "several conflicts with people," wildlife authorities said. The bears repeatedly broke into cabins, garages, outdoor freezers, unsecured garbage and a trailer in search of food, according to the the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks.
The department said in a news release that the decision to euthanize both animals followed "numerous reports" of instances where they damaged properties in pursuit of human food, even after officials attempted to relocate the 6-year-old mother and cub from a populated area back to the wild.
Initial reports placed the two grizzly bears in the Fortine area of Lincoln County, in northwestern Montana, where they were linked to a number of reported break-ins to unsecured garbage in early August. Bear specialists then moved the mother and cub to a forested area near Frozen Lake and Tuchuck Mountain along the Canadian border.
