YOGUI bear was shot in his park of Yellostone.

YOGUI bear was shot on July 11 in Yellowstone National Park following a series of incidents deemed hazardous due to its habit of seeking out and obtaining food from humans. Abc News reports that the bear was taken down in the Blacktail Deer Creek area in the northern part of the park after it damaged a campsite and consumed food that had been properly stored. This marked the first time a bear was killed for management reasons in Yellowstone since 2020. According to the National Park Service, the initial warning sign appeared on June 7, when the bear tore apart an unoccupied tent. The situation worsened on July 11, when the bear climbed a pole meant for food storage, punctured the hanging bags, and emptied their contents. "While it’s not typical for a bear in Yellowstone to access human food, when it happens, it can quickly become a dangerous and conditioned situation,” officials explained. "The bear's escalating behavior posed a clear risk to visitor safety. " The park's 293 campsites are equipped with poles or containers designed to prevent bears from getting to food. "We work hard to keep bears away from human provisions," said Kerry Gunther, who oversees bear management in Yellowstone. "However, sometimes a bear can overcome our barriers. In those instances, we must make tough decisions to safeguard both people and wildlife. "
