Original: Montana Wildlife Officials Kill 14 Black Bears On One Property Near Bozeman
Montana wildlife officials killed 14 black bears at a single property near Bozeman. Authorities said the bears had become conditioned to food sources at the site, posing a safety risk to people and leaving relocation unworkable. The scale of the cull at one location has drawn attention and criticism from wildlife advocates who question whether non-lethal measures could have been tried first.
Why now: The unusually large number of bears killed on a single property has sparked debate over wildlife management practices.
