Grizzly bear euthanized in Park County
The Livingston Enterprise reports:
"A grizzly bear was euthanized after a recent cattle depredation in south Park County, according to a news release from the Montana Department if Fish, Wildlife and Parks.
The adult male bear was captured shortly after it killed a cow on private land on Wednesday. In consultation with federal partners at the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and Wildlife Services, the decision was made to euthanize the bear due to this depredation and past depredations in the area, the release said.
Relocating bears safely is difficult at this time of year because of many factors, including high bear densities, heavy recreation use and other land uses in nearby areas, the release said."
