Four grizzly bears killed in Canada after fatal attack on mother and daughter

Four grizzly bears have been killed in connection with a fatal attack on a mother and daughter in the Canadian province of British Columbia. Jennifer Balcarras, 48, and her daughter Selah Reed, 20, died earlier this month after going on an afternoon walk in a trail area in Bella Coola. The British Columbia Conservation Office Service (BCCOS) launched an investigation into their deaths and forensic testing has since confirmed a sow and her three cubs were responsible for the attack. All four were destroyed "in accordance with provincial human-wildlife conflict response guidelines" to protect the public, BCCOS Inspector Jeff Tyre said in an update on Tuesday.
