The B.C. Conservation Officer Service says it received multiple reports that the bears appeared conditioned to human food and had accessed unsecured garbage
Conservation officers euthanized two black bears in Lake Cowichan Thursday in separate incidents, after both bears appeared to show minimal fear of humans.
One of the bears also damaged a shed, entered a home and tried to get into another, the Conservation Officer Service said. “We recognize this is distressing news for many people. Putting down any bear is an unfortunate outcome we work so hard to prevent,” the service said in a statement.
