And now, even though that hiker was alone in protected grizzly territory and appears to have come near the grizzly's cubs, park officials are considering euthanizing the animal.
This sow grizzly and cubs are accused of killing an experienced hiker. The park has announced they will euthanize her and her two infant cubs if they are able to link the hiker's DNA to the captured bears. If Yellowstone kills these bears, they will be making a tragic story even worse.
There is inherent risk in hiking in grizzly country. Anyone attempting to do so needs to take proper precautions. Despite hiking in the park for many years, this hiker carried no bear spray, wore no bear bells, and had roamed far off the trail. He most likely surprised this sow and her cubs in their natural environment. She did what grizzly sows are famous for doing: defending her cubs from a perceived threat. This was a grizzly being a grizzly in grizzly territory.
This grizzly is well known in the area. A 20 year old sow, she's been photographed and enjoyed by thousands of visitors over the years. She has does not have a history of aggression and has not previously been determined to be a "nuisance bear." She is, however a grizzly and deserves to live as a grizzly. She does not deserve to be killed because someone didn't take necessary steps to avoid a confrontation. The least they could do is transplant her and her cubs to a remote location far, far away if necessary. Killing these beautiful creatures will solve nothing, especially the innocent and infant cubs.
Please sign and share this petition far and wide. This sow and one of her cubs has already been captured. The other infant cub is still wandering around helpless and likely scared to death. Please help save these magnificent creatures and allow them to live wild and free as bears were meant to be.
