Bear Euthanized After Campers Left Food Out | Bozeman News
Description
A family camping near Red Lodge watched a curious black bear die after repeatedly raiding their unsecured campsite—filled with food waste and trash—highlighting a dangerous trend in Montana’s wilds. Six bears have already been euthanized this year due to habituation from human food, with officials warning that intentional feeding is making the situation worse. The bear returned the next day and was killed for public safety, leaving the family heartbroken. Wildlife experts urge campers to use bear-resistant containers or locked vehicles to prevent future tragedies—and to report anyone feeding bears, as it’s illegal and deadly for wildlife.
