Grizzly Bear in Bonner County |
|
March 11, 2016 |
Two rewards totaling $10,000 have been offered
for information on the killing of a
federally-protected grizzly bear in Idaho.
In October 2015, a radio-collared grizzly bear
was found dead in the Grouse Creek drainage of
Bonner County, Idaho. It is a violation of the
Endangered Species Act to kill a grizzly bear,
which is listed as threatened. The incident was
investigated by the Idaho Fish and Game
Department and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering a
$5,000 reward for information leading to an
arrest in the case. The Humane Society of the
United States and the Humane Society Wildlife
Land Trust are offering an additional $5,000 for
information leading to a conviction.
Anyone with information about this case should
call the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at (509)
370-0112, or Idaho Fish and Game Department at
(208) 267-4085. Callers may remain anonymous. |
