A black bear was euthanized in Colorado. A necropsy showed its intestines were plugged with human garbage.

The bear's stomach was clogged with human trash, including food wrappers, wipes and paper towels that kept the bear from consuming food that would have sustained the animal.

Humane society officials hope to release the orphaned bears back into the wild early next year. Separately, authorities are investigating a report of a shot bear.CPW received a report of a sick or injured bear near the river trail in Telluride in the early afternoon Sept. 9, the agency said. CPW officers and the Telluride Marshal’s officers monitored the bear and kept it away from humans. A nearby resident also provided video footage of the bear’s behavior.

A photo shows wipes removed from the stomach of a black bear euthanized Sept. 9 in Telluride, Colo. The wipes, along with other trash, caused a severe intestinal blockage that prevented the bear from digesting food. The agency said it made the decision to euthanize the bear that evening “for human health and safety reasons as well as to prevent the bear from further suffering.”
