Four grizzly bears killed after fatal attack on mother and daughter
Canadian wildlife officials killed four grizzly bears — a sow and her three cubs — after DNA testing linked them to the deaths of a mother and her adult daughter in British Columbia.[2, 3, 7 +1] The New York Post reported the victims were Jenny Balcarras and her daughter.[8] The bears were captured in western Canada, and evidence including animal DNA conclusively tied them to the deaths along a hiking trail, according to officials.[2, 9]
Investigators believe the attack was a rare predatory attack.[3, 9] Officials said all four bears were killed because bears responsible for fatal attacks pose an ongoing risk to the public.[7]
