Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials euthanized a bear late Tuesday morning in Glenwood Springs after determining that the animal had broken into several vehicles. “That bear was unfortunately the first one in this year that had to be euthanized from our office in Glenwood Springs,” said wildlife manager Matt Yamashita, who supervises the Glenwood Springs, Aspen and Vail area for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Yamashita said the bear had been breaking out windows, a behavior that poses a threat to public safety even if the bear were to be relocated. “When we’re responding to bear injuries, I would much rather take the flack from trying to euthanize a bear rather than having to sit and talk with the family of someone who is in the hospital after being injured by a bear,” Yamashita said.
