Bears in the city

August 3rd, 2011, 1:23 pm by

Worry over the safety of neighborhood kids led members of the Colorado Parks and Wildlife department to tranquilize and relocate a mother bear and her two cubs just south of downtown Colorado Springs Wednesday, August 3, 2011. Nearbyresident Jessica Ibell said the bears had been around off and on for the past week. She said her kids, ages 11, 11, and 9 have been afraid to play outside since the cubs were seen playing in the kiddie pool in their back yard. Event the recent hot weather wasn’t enough to coax the kids into their pool. “They’ve got spray bottles,” Ibell said. The mother bear and two cubs were all tranquilized and will be relocated.

Watch out for bears

Another incidence of  two black bear cubs getting into a house looking for food. With winter getting closer and bears looking for food, people really need to be mindful of leaving food and garbage around that may lead bears to and into their house. DOW’s policy is to euthanize these animals once they enter into homes and become a possible danger to humans. Today Bryan and reporter Matt Steiner were at the scene up on Sanford Rd. in the Broadmoor area.
