POLICY WIRE — Bella Coola, Canada — Four grizzly bears were euthanized after a rare predatory attack that killed a mother and her adult daughter in western Canada, officials announced today.
The victims were a mother and daughter who were mauled near Bella Coola early last month. DNA testing linked the four bears to the fatal mauling, a conclusion reached by the B.C. Conservation Officer Service.
Officials confirmed that the four animals—including three cubs—were removed from the area. The incident comes amid a population of an estimated 10,000 to 13,000 grizzlies in British Columbia.
