Summary
A Colorado man who moved to Castle Rock for the wildlife—complete with a bear named Melanie as his screensaver—was shaken after hearing gunshots and discovering two cubs stuck in a tree. Later, he learned Melanie, the mother bear, had been shot and killed. Devastated and conflicted, he can’t fathom harming an animal, especially a mother. Now, Colorado Parks and Wildlife is investigating whether the shooter felt threatened, as shooting bears on property is illegal. The cubs are safely in rehab while authorities dig into the incident.
