The British Columbia Conservation Officer Service recently responded to a bear incident in Metro Vancouver, resulting in injuries to a woman and her dog. The encounter occurred on Monday on the woman’s property in Anmore, where she sustained non-life-threatening injuries. The bear had left the area before officers arrived. The service is actively monitoring the location for bear activities to ensure public safety.
This incident comes after a recent bear attack in Maple Ridge, where a three-year-old girl was attacked by a black bear on her home’s deck. The child was swiftly taken to B.C. Children’s Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries after a parent intervened and scared off the bear. Law enforcement later euthanized the bear.
