Original: Montana Wildlife Officials Kill 14 Black Bears On One Property Near Bozeman
Montana wildlife officials killed 14 black bears on a single property near Bozeman.

The large number of animals removed from one site has drawn attention to how human food habits draw bears into neighborhoods, and officials are urging residents to secure attractants.
