Bear and cub killed after man is injured while opening his garage door

The unsuspecting homeowner had just opened his garage at his Teton Valley, Idaho, home when the two bears – a mama and her cub – attacked

A mother bear and her cub were put down after the dangerous beasts attacked a man in his own home. The Idaho man was attacked after he opened his garage door at his Teton Valley home, according to Idaho Fish and Game officials..

Although the extent of the man’s injuries were not revealed he refused medical treatment at the scene. In response to the attack, the bears were hunted down and euthanised. Officials were called to the scene near Victor, Idaho, and found the bears in a neighbouring home.

The animals were killed “in the interest of public safety,” Idaho Fish and Game officials revealed. The Jackson Hole News & Guide reported that the bears were later disposed of at the Jefferson County landfill.

This comes in the midst of a spate of bear attacks in the US. On average, one person is killed by bears each year but so far this year there have already been two.
