Original: Wildlife officials kill 14 food-conditioned bears gathering at a home near Bozeman
Montana wildlife officials have killed 14 bears that had become food-conditioned and repeatedly gathered at a home near Bozeman. The cull, reported by Montana Public Radio, has drawn attention as people weigh the dangers of bears losing their fear of humans against criticism of lethal removal rather than relocation or prevention of attractants.
Why now: The unusually large number of bears killed at a single residential site has sparked debate over wildlife management.
