Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks euthanized a young male grizzly bear this week in northern Montana because of recent calf depredations. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services captured the 383-pound bear at the site of the depredations after it killed three registered black Angus calves and injured three additional calves. Officials say five other calves in the area had gone missing within the last week as well. Due to the significant amount of livestock depredations, FWP decided to euthanize it in consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and in accordance with Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee guidelines. This is the second grizzly euthanized in Montana this year.
