Black Bear Euthanized After Attacking Child in Montana
News summary

A 3-year-old girl was hospitalized after a black bear attacked her while she was inside a tent at a campground south of Red Lodge, Montana, around 10 p.m. on Sunday. The bear, a subadult female, was captured and euthanized the following day after authorities found unsecured attractants, including garbage and human food, in the vicinity of the tent. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) indicated that the bear had no prior history of conflicts but likely became food-conditioned due to access to human food. The campground was evacuated, and further traps were set to ensure safety. The child's condition remains undisclosed, and the incident is still under investigation. Officials emphasize the importance of securing food and garbage to prevent bear encounters.
