The grizzly bear, which killed Amie Adamson near Yellowstone National Park in July and injured someone else in 2020, broke into a home in search of food.
Hours after the homeowner’s report, FWP officials and local law enforcement shot the adult bear and captured the cub “due to an immediate public safety threat from the bear’s food-conditioned behavior,” the agency said. Officials said they were given authorization to euthanize the adult grizzly from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service based on the mother bear’s “history of conflict with people.
The estimated grizzly bear population has increased inside the Yellowstone ecosystem in recent years. It rose from 136 in 1975 to a peak of 1,063 in 2021, according to the near Yellowstone in May in a case that sparked outrage among bear watchers and environmental activists concerned about how the animal was found with a disfigured face. The case remains under investigation by federal and state officials.
“More people have died by drowning or suffering thermal burns from hot springs than aggressive bears,” the Park Service said. “For all park visitors combined, the chances of being injured by a grizzly bear are approximately 1 in 2.7 million visits. The risk is significantly lower for people who don’t leave developed areas or roadsides, and higher for anyone hiking in the backcountry.”
