BOULDER — A bear that ran out of second chances was captured Thursday in north Boulder, tranquilized and then euthanized.
The sow’s two cubs, which like their mother — bear No. 317 — previously had been tagged by Colorado Parks and Wildlife personnel, also were tranquilized. The tag marks a bear’s first strike; under Colorado wildlife policy, the second strike brings euthanization.
It appears, however, that there’s a good chance the cubs can be successfully relocated.
The animals were reported Thursday evening through Boulder police dispatch to be at a home in the 2100 block of Iris Avenue. Wildlife responders found them near the rear of the property’s backyard, on the ground, not in a tree.
