Why Put A Grizzly Bear To Death?

An experienced hiker has been found dead in Yellowstone National Park. Preliminary investigations suggest that a female grizzly bear and her cub may be to blame. A grizzly is currently in captivity awaiting DNA tests to find out whether or not she is responsible for attacking the hiker and will be euthanized.
