圣地亚哥人道协会周二表示，一只母熊因袭击人类被实施安乐死后，两只失去母亲的熊崽已在加利福尼亚州一家动物福利中心安顿下来。
哥伦比亚广播公司洛杉矶分台报道称，DNA检测证实这只母熊在不到一年时间内涉及两起公共安全事件。该电视台称，2025年6月，这只母熊曾挥爪袭击一名坐在有围栏门廊上的老人。今年3月初，这只熊又袭击了一名遛狗的女子。这两起事件均发生在加利福尼亚州蒙罗维亚社区。哥伦比亚广播公司洛杉矶分台表示，两人均因轻伤康复。
城市经理迪伦·费克告诉哥伦比亚广播公司洛杉矶分台，市议会和一些居民曾推动将这只熊及其幼崽迁移到安吉利斯国家森林，但州政府官员决定对这只成年熊实施安乐死。加利福尼亚州鱼类和野生动物部门向哥伦比亚广播公司洛杉矶分台表示，这一决定是在对熊的行为和事件情况进行”彻底评估”后做出的。

该组织称，野生动物兽医确定这两只幼崽约2至3个月大，需要数月的精心照料。根据加利福尼亚州鱼类和野生动物部门的数据，黑熊幼崽通常在6至8个月大时断奶，但会与母熊一起生活到约18个月大。熊崽通常会跟着母熊到处走，并学习觅食地点和方法等生存技能。
圣地亚哥人道协会表示，希望能将这两只幼崽放归野外。该组织在接受KFMB电视台采访时表示，对幼崽进行康复训练有望确保它们不会重蹈母亲探索人类聚居区的覆辙。
幼崽们已被安置在一个模仿自然环境的栖息地中，工作人员正在特别努力减少它们与人类的接触。KFMB报道称，工作人员将使用熊面具、动物皮毛和气味来”掩盖它们的人类特征”。该组织表示，幼崽们将得到喂食、护理和”符合物种特性的丰富化训练”。
该组织野生动物运营经理秋·韦尔奇告诉KFMB：”从小抚养熊崽需要大量的时间、专业知识和资源。如果它们要在自然栖息地生存下去，我们不希望它们以任何方式与人类产生关联。”
人道协会在社交媒体上表示：”凭借一些创造力和奉献精神，我们将帮助（幼崽）发展生存本能并保持野性。我们共同努力，仍能给这些幼崽一个充满活力的野生生活的机会。”
根据加利福尼亚州鱼类和野生动物部门的数据，黑熊在加利福尼亚州分布广泛，估计全州共有49,000至71,000只黑熊。这些动物什么食物都吃，可能会进入人类社区翻找垃圾桶或食用其他未妥善保管的食物。
Orphaned bear cubs taken to San Diego for care after mom is euthanized for attacking people

Two orphaned bear cubs are settling in at a California animal welfare center after their mother was euthanized for attacking people, the San Diego Humane Society said Tuesday.
DNA testing confirmed the mother bear was involved in two public safety incidents in less than a year, CBS Los Angeles reported. In June 2025, the mother bear swiped at an elderly man sitting on his enclosed porch, according to the station. Earlier in March, the bear swiped at a woman walking her dog. Both incidents took place in the neighborhood of Monrovia, California. Both people recovered from minor injuries, CBS Los Angeles said.
City manager Dylan Feik told CBS Los Angeles that the city council and some residents pushed for the bear and her cubs to be relocated to the Angeles National Forest, but state officials decided to euthanize the adult bear. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife told CBS Los Angeles that the decision was made after “a thorough assessment of the bear’s behavior and the circumstances of the incident.”

Wildlife veterinarians determined the cubs are two or three months old and will need months of extensive care, the organization said. Black bear cubs are generally weaned from their mothers between six and eight months of age, but stay with them until they are about 18 months old,according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Bear cubs typically follow their mother everywhere and learn skills including how and where to find food.
The San Diego Humane Society said it hopes to be able to return the two cubs to the wild. Rehabilitating the cubs will hopefully ensure they do not follow their mother’s example of exploring human-populated areas, the organization told CBS affiliate KFMB.
The cubs have been settled into a habitat designed to mimic their natural environment, and special efforts are being made to reduce their exposure to humans. KFMB reported that staff will use bear masks, animal furs and scents to “conceal their human identity” while caring for the cubs. They will receive feedings, care and “species-specific enrichment,” the organization said.
“Raising bear cubs from this young age requires an extraordinary amount of time, expertise, and resources,” Autumn Welch, the wildlife operations manager at the organization, told KFMB. “We don’t want them to associate with humans in any way if they are going to have a chance to survive in their natural habitat.”
“With some creativity and dedication, we’ll help (the cubs) develop their survival instincts and remain wild,” the Humane Society said on social media. “Together, we can still give these cubs the chance to live full, wild lives.”
Black bears are common throughout California, with between 49,000 and 71,000 of the animals estimated to live throughout the state, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The animals will eat most foods, and may enter human neighborhoods to ransack garbage cans or eat other unsecured foodstuffs.
