Stumble It!ANCHORAGE -- The Alaska Department of Fish and Game says it has killed a grizzly bear believed responsible for at least one attack in an Anchorage park.
Wildlife biologists shot a female grizzly that they believe attacked a jogger this month and department officials say they're tring to capture her two cubs.
The bears were feeding on a bull moose carcass in a rural Anchorage neighborhood.
Officials are not sure if the same animal mauled a 15-year-old mountain bike racer in June but they plan to conduct a DNA analysis to find out.
If the cubs are captured, they will be sent to an animal facility in the Lower 48.

Sounds to me like a lynching. What are they going to do if DNA shows that it was the wrong bear, just keep on killing sows with cubs until they get the right one?
