Betty the Bear and the Tough Choices | Vancouver News

A mother bear named Betty was fatally shot by police in Coquitlam after she and her two cubs entered a home — a move some locals say was a protective bluff, not an attack. Though the Conservation Officer Service noted Betty had a history of property damage and fearlessness around humans, neighbors remember her as a calm, familiar presence. Thankfully, the cubs were found safe and are now in care at a wildlife rehab center. This tragic incident underscores the complex, often heartbreaking, realities of urban wildlife management.
