Man Injured in Grizzly Attack on Rural Property in B.C. Interior
Investigators said the bear fled after injuring the man, and trail cameras now monitor the area while residents are urged to report sightings.
- On Monday evening, a grizzly bear attacked a man on his rural property near Vanderhoof while he was walking two off-leash dogs, causing non-life-threatening leg injuries.
- The BC Conservation Officer Service determined the attack was "defensive in nature and there was no continued threat to public safety" after investigators assessed evidence at the scene.
- During the encounter, the man escaped by scrambling under a barbed-wire fence, which caused the bear to disengage and flee before he was taken to hospital for treatment.
- Conservation officers and the RCMP responded to the property to search for the animal, but despite conducting sweeps of the area, the teams did not locate the grizzly bear.
- Authorities have set up trail cameras to monitor bear activity around the property, and nearby residents are asked to report any sightings or conflicts to the Report All Poachers and Polluters line at 1-877-952-7177.
