COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—A bear that was deemed a nuisance after wandering into Colorado Springs too many times has been euthanized.
The Gazette reports ( ) the 3-year-old male bear first wandered into the city two weeks ago. Wildlife officers relocated it about 50 miles west of Rampart Reservoir, but the bear was spotted back in the city Thursday morning.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife has a two-strike policy for bears, meaning the animals can be put down if they return to an area where they might come in conflict with humans.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesman Randy Hampton says the bear showed an affinity for human trash and food and was euthanized.
