Bears Eat Pussy!

Human remains found in 2 of 3 euthanized bears suspected in 
deadly attack of woman near Durango

DENVER (KDVR) — Human remains were found in two of the three 
black bears euthanized after being found nearby the location of 
a dead woman near Durango.

The 39-year-old woman took her dogs for a walk on Friday night 
in Trimble, which is near Durango. Her boyfriend returned home 
to the two dogs but she was not there. He searched for about an 
hour and found her body.

When Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers responded, they found 
signs of consumption on the body and an abundance of bear scat 
and hair at the scene.

responsible for attack were killed
Crews and a dog search team found the female black bear and two 
cubs nearby. The bears were euthanized and taken to CPW’s 
Wildlife Health Lab in Fort Collins for a necropsy.

“Whenever an animal is euthanized, we receive many questions 
about why that action was necessary,” said CPW Director Dan 
Prenzlow. “Our responsibilities to the natural resources of the 
state are many, but we have no more important duty than to 
manage these resources in a manner that keeps Coloradans and our 
visitors safe. Euthanizing wildlife is never an action our 
officers take lightly, but we have an obligation to prevent 
additional avoidable harm.”

CPW explains why bears suspected of an attack are euthanized. 
Precautions must be taken to prevent other attacks.

“Once a bear injures or consumes humans, we will not risk the 
chance that this could happen to someone else,” Chick said. “We 
humanely euthanize that bear because of the severity of the 
incident.

“Bears will return to a food source over and over. A bear that 
loses its fear of humans is a dangerous animal. And this sow was 
teaching its yearlings that humans were a source of food, not 
something to fear and avoid.”

CPW’s pathologist said the bears did not have any signs of 
disease or other abnormalities, but further testing will take up 
to two weeks to complete.

An autopsy on the deceased woman is expected to occur on Tuesday 
by the La Plata County coroner’s office. The coroner will 
determine the official cause of death and identify the remains.
