Grizzly euthanized after breaking into buildings

ISLAND PARK, Idaho (AP) - A nearly toothless, 25-year-old male grizzly bear that repeatedly broke into buildings in eastern Idaho has been euthanized.

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game in a statement Thursday said the grizzly was killed Monday because it had become habituated to human-related foods.

Regional Wildlife Manager Curtis Hendricks said the bear made no direct threat to humans but its advanced age and decreasing ability to forage naturally increased the potential for conflict.
