  1. Four grizzly bears killed after DNA links them to fatal attack on mother, daughter in B.C.

    Canadian authorities have euthanized four grizzly bears after DNA evidence confirmed their involvement in the deadly attack on a mother and daughter hiking in British Columbia. Officials said the bears displayed predatory behaviour during the incident. The victims, described as "two peas in a pod," were killed on a trail near their home. Police are now escorting children to school in the area as a precaution while conservation officers monitor for further bear activity.

    Why it matters

    The attack is rare because it involved multiple grizzlies acting together in what officials characterized as predatory behaviour rather than a defensive encounter. DNA confirmation allowed authorities to target the specific animals responsible, a critical step in managing human-wildlife conflict in a region where grizzly populations are dense and encounters are increasing. The decision to euthanize all four reflects the assessed ongoing risk to public safety.
