>A Yellowstone National Park black bear with a taste for human food and willing to dangerously ransack campsites to get it was “lethally removed” from the area, the park announced Thursday. The National Park Service reports that a determined adult female black bear had to be killed July 11 after “a series of concerning incidents” at a backcountry campsite located in the Blacktail Deer Creek drainage. It was the first black bear to be put down by Yellowstone wildlife officials in five years.

Why not just tag and move it to a more secluded place, instead of killing it?

They basically always find their way back and have no fear of humans which makes them far more likely to attack and kill people they run into.

I don't like it either but there are huge animal sanctuaries they could probably be taken to instead. One of the largest predator sanctuaries in the world is only a few hundred miles away in Colorado.

That would have been a safer option.
