A nuisance mother black bear was trapped and euthanized on Aug. 10 around Clinton Road after allegations that she was raiding the neighborhood’s garbage and attempting to break into a house. But the fate of her three young cubs is now in the hands of a group that will help to make sure the baby bears don’t copy Mama Bear’s behavior.
