Bad News Bears
Colorado Parks and Wildlife Personnel tags mark a bear's first incident of invading human space. If a tagged bear comes back a second time, Wildlife Personnel must euthanize the animal. A tagged sow and her two cubs have been hanging around a Boulder neighbor for weeks and becoming bolder. The neighbors cared about the bears and tried to protect them.

Bear Number 317, the mother bear, was tranquilized and euthanized, as required by law. The two cubs had been weaned. They have a fair to good chance of survival in the wild. The cubs were tagged and will be relocated. The tags mean they have been given a second and last chance.
