SALT LAKE COUNTY, Utah — A man was attacked by a black bear while trail running in Big Cottonwood Canyon Wednesday afternoon. Unfortunately, wildlife officials say they had to euthanize the animal because it showed aggressive behavior toward a human. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources said it received the report of a man being bitten around 1:15-1:30 p.m. The man was trail running in the Mill D North trail area of the canyon.
Conservation officers and biologists with the DWR responded to the area and searched for the bear with tracking hounds. They found it around 9:45 p.m. 'Because the bear had shown aggressive behavior and injured a person, it was euthanized, per policy,' the division wrote in a news release Wednesday night. The agency said the bear was an adult female.
