They are afraid to release the cubs into the wild because they fear that the sow was teaching them predatory behavior.
Well duh! These are predators, what would one expect the sow to teach the cubs?
Why destroy the bear at all? Its was doing what bears do,
preying on weaker life forms. Folks in grizzly country
ought to be carrying bells, bearspray, and/or a Marlin .450..
In bear country, you can tell bear scat from griz scat because bear scat has reminants of seeds and plant material, griz scat has little bells and smells like pepper. . . . .
I would go for the Marlin .450. Bear jerky anyone?
