Bear Raiding Restaurants Gets Deadly

A black bear in Stowe, Vermont, was euthanized after repeatedly raiding a restaurant called the Matterhorn — a bold move that escalated as the bear became a regular. Working with Fish and Wildlife, the restaurant and local authorities acted before things spiraled, but the incident underscores a growing problem: bears are increasingly drawn to human food, and people aren’t reporting these signs early enough. Since 2020, bear incidents have surged past 1,700 annually, highlighting the urgent need for better wildlife management — secure food storage and prompt reporting could prevent future tragedies.
