Second Bear found and euthanized. They're going for a third. [View all]

There was a bear attack in Central Florida a few weeks back. Traps were set and a 200 pound female was found and euthanized. A second bear, a 200 male, was found and euthanized. Now they're setting up a trap for a third bear.

I think it's obvious that they're culling the herd and I'm not sure why they don't just come out and say it.

Second bear euthanized after caught in trap

Because wildlife officials are not sure they have found the right bear, all three traps will remain in place in the subdivision.

"If we trap another bear, it will also will likely be euthanized," Parker said. "We are trying to be 100 percent certain."
