By Monday, the bear was picked up by The Wild Animal Sanctuary all the way from Springfield, Colorado and arrived on Tuesday.Fish and wildlife officials say relocation is not typically an option for conflict animals, over concern that relocating an animal will relocate the same behavior to a different community.But, because of public interest and the risk of a serious incident involving this bear, they went with an alternative plan.
They say "Hank" was separated from her cubs because officials say she is not a candidate for rehabilitation."Because there was such a rap sheet, if you will, for her and she had these three cubs," Traverso said. "Then, on July 21, one of the cubs was hit by a vehicle, and so we knew that we needed to get some kind of an assessment done of the situation.
"The reason is that bears need to have a natural fear of humans so that they don't get closer to our houses and our garages and our orchards and all things," Traverso said. "They need to stay away in order to stay safe and really, that's what the rehabilitation is all about."
