Grizzly bear in northern Idaho euthanized after killing seven sheep

BOISE, Idaho (CBS 2) — A grizzly bear in northern Idaho was euthanized over the weekend after it killed several sheep.

Idaho Fish and Game says officers euthanized the 240-pound male bear near the small town of Copeland on Saturday.

The grizzly was the same bear captured in Garwood last summer that was relocated to the Cabinet Mountains near the Idaho/Montana border. The bear had a history of harassing livestock and raiding orchards prior to the sheep depredations.

Fish and Game says about 70-80 grizzly bears live in northern Boundary County.
