Canadian authorities said on Tuesday that four grizzly bears were responsible for the killing of a woman and her daughter near a hiking trail in the western part of the country, and the animals were destroyed.
DNA tests conducted at the site of the brutal attack last week in British Columbia confirmed that a female bear and her three cubs were responsible for the deaths of the two victims.
A statement from the provincial wildlife agency said the animals had been destroyed or “put down.”
The victims were walking near their home, located close to the town of Bella Coola.
Grizzly bears can become aggressive at this time of year as they build up fat reserves in preparation for winter hibernation.
Last November, a bear attacked a school group in the same area, injuring 11 people, including children, some of whom sustained serious injuries.
However, the four bears responsible for the latest attack were not involved in the previous incident, according to the statement.
