Black bear killed after breaking into YukonU building

According to CBC, a black bear was killed after breaking into a Yukon University building last week. The black bear broke through an exterior door and a window to enter the institution’s main building. It exited the building through a door opened by staff and was later found by the gymnasium. Yukon Conservation Officer Services thanked university staff for their “quick thinking and for keeping students and staff safe.” The bear was euthanized due to safety concerns. “The bear, having entered a facility, is not a candidate for relocation,” read a statement from Yukon Conservation Officer Services, which noted that the bear “demonstrated habituation to people.”
