14 bears captured and killed at Montana home, amid rise in human-bear encounters

Wildlife officials found and killed 14 black bears last week on a property in Montana. A cub was also found and relocated for possible placement at a zoo, officials said in a statement.

“These bears were unafraid of humans and stopped relying on natural foods,” said Montana game warden Captain Josh Leonard. “It’s very unfortunate they had to be euthanized.”
