爱达荷州黑熊凌晨袭击两名居民 涉事熊只被安乐死

据《纽约邮报》与爱达荷州鱼类与野生动物局消息,10月2日凌晨,一头黑熊在爱达荷州萨蒙市(Salmon)附近袭击了两名居民,两人受伤送医。
事发时两人在户外遭遇黑熊,熊只发起攻击造成撕咬伤。野生动物官员随后追踪到涉事黑熊及其同伴,依据州政策将两头熊安乐死,并对熊只进行狂犬病等检测。
爱达荷州鱼类与野生动物局表示,攻击人类的熊只按规定必须安乐死,这是为了防止其再次伤人,也是全美各州通行的做法。被安乐死的熊只样本将送检,以排除疾病因素。
当局提醒,爱达荷州山区近期熊类活动频繁,居民户外活动时应携带防熊喷雾、妥善存放食物与垃圾,避免在黎明与黄昏时段单独进入密林。两名伤者目前情况稳定,正在医院接受治疗。
Black Bear Attacks 2 People Near Salmon, Idaho; Bear and Companion Euthanized
A black bear attacked two people near Salmon, Idaho, in the early hours of October 2, sending both to hospitals, the New York Post and Idaho Fish and Game said.
The pair encountered the bear outdoors when it charged, inflicting bite wounds. Wildlife officers later tracked down the bear and its companion and euthanized both per state policy, testing them for rabies and other diseases.
Idaho Fish and Game said bears that attack people must be euthanized under state policy — standard practice nationwide to prevent repeat attacks. Samples from the euthanized bears will be tested to rule out disease.
Officials reminded residents that bear activity is high across Idaho's mountains; hikers should carry bear spray, secure food and trash, and avoid dense woods alone at dawn and dusk. Both victims are in stable condition and remain hospitalized.
