- Officials with Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks said they shot the bear “due to an imminent threat to public safety from its feeding-related behavior.”

A female grizzly bear that mauled a woman to death two months ago was euthanized Saturday after breaking into a Montana home with her cub to steal dog food.
The hungry grizzly broke in through the home’s kitchen window while the homeowners were present before officers shot her, Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks said.
Genetic analysis determined it was the same bear that fatally mauled Amie Adamson, 47, of Derby, Kansas, on July 22. The avid hiker was found dead on the Buttermilk Trail west of Yellowstone National Park after setting out for her morning jog just before 8 a.m.
It was also discovered that it was the same bear that was responsible Injury to person near Henrys Lake State Park Idaho in 2020.
Officers said they had to shoot them “due to an imminent threat to public safety from the bear’s feeding-related behavior,” the statement said FWP release.
The 46-pound male cub was right next to its mother when she was shot and was taken to the agency’s wildlife rehabilitation center. The bear cub is expected to be taken to the zoo.

The press release states: “Following the fatal attack in July, multiple attempts were made to capture and remove the bear due to the incident’s proximity to residents, campgrounds and heavily used off-highway vehicle (OHV) trails .’These efforts were unsuccessful.’
Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks said the same female grizzly was captured for research purposes back in 2017 and that her attacks in 2020 and July of this year were classified as “defensive responses.”
After Adamson’s death in July, her mother, Janet Adamson, told Good Morning America, “Every morning she would get up early and go for a walk, hike or run.”
“As I walked through the beauty of Yellowstone, she was almost in heaven. “She died doing what she loved.”
Montana itself is often referred to as “bear country” because many of its national forests are home to the large and powerful creature.
Yellowstone National Park is home to grizzly bears and black bears. Grizzlies are a subspecies of brown bears that once lived in the American West.

National Park Service said: “Visitors should be aware that all bears are potentially dangerous. Park regulations require people to maintain a minimum distance of 100 meters from bears.”
Accordingly FoxNews: “Grizzlies are protected by U.S. law outside Alaska.” “Elected officials in the Yellowstone region are pushing to allow grizzly hunting, and in February the Biden administration took a first step toward repealing federal protections for the animals.”
Grizzly bears are rarely known to exhibit aggressive behavior toward humans, but they are still protected as a “threatened” species in 48 U.S. states.
