Four grizzly bears killed following fatal attack in Canada

Forensic testing confirmed a mother grizzly bear and her three cubs were responsible for the deaths of a woman and her daughter in British Columbia.

Four grizzly bears have been euthanized in the Canadian province of British Columbia following an investigation into a fatal attack on 48-year-old Jennifer Balcarras and her 20-year-old daughter, Selah Reed. The victims died earlier this month during an afternoon walk on a trail in Bella Coola. The British Columbia Conservation Office Service confirmed through forensic and DNA testing that a sow and her three cubs were responsible for the incident. Authorities stated that the rare predatory attack led to the destruction of all four animals in accordance with human-wildlife conflict guidelines to protect the public.
