Officers Believe Sow With Cubs Was Involved in BC Bear Attack on Students, Teachers

Date:

A Grizzly bear searches for food as he fishes in Khutze Inlet near Princess Royal Island, B.C. on Sept, 19, 2013. The Canadian Press/Jonathan HaywardConservation officers in British Columbia say they believe a mother bear with two cubs was likely involved in an attack on a group of elementary school students and their teachers Thursday, and they continue to search for the animal in the area near the community.“Speaking from experience, this is probably the most dangerous thing that conservation officers do, especially dealing with family units with sows,” Sgt. Jeff Tyre with the B.C. Conservation Officer Service told a news conference in Bella Coola on Saturday afternoon.
