Wildlife officers put down a mother bear and her cubs after they were reportedly “too habitualized” to humans.
According to the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, the decision was not made lightly. Officers report the bears had no fear of humans and had become reliant on trash for food.
“We had airhorns; they didn’t work. Yelling didn’t work,” said Grant. “I even drove my car at the family group once and they didn’t move.”
