Bears shot dead
FOUR of five black bears spared euthanasia after tearing up garbage in Anchorage have come to an unhappy end at their relocated home.
State and federal game officials on Sunday and Monday shot and killed a sow and three of her four yearling cubs after they continued their destructive ways across the Turnagain Arm waterway in the tiny community of Hope, Anchorage television station KTUU reported.
The last straw came on Sunday night when one yearling climbed into a van at a campground in Hope while the driver was still in it, said Ken Marsh, spokesman for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
“The van’s occupant turned around, and he began screaming at the bear and it ran away,” Marsh said.
The sow and four cubs were destined for a lethal end in April after they showed little fear of people and tore up garbage in an Anchorage neighborhood.
The nature of black bears make them difficult to relocate, Marsh said. “They have a very strong instinct to return to their place of origin,” he said. “Or they end up starting trouble in new places.”
