Cinder — a famous bear cub whose paws were severely scorched in a massive 2014 Washington wildfire — has been shot and killed by a hunter.
According to a report by the Daily Mail,Rich Beausoleil, an official from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and has confirmed that a team was sent out to witness for the den of the black bear in September. Her radio transmitting collar stopped working 11 months ago.
Beausoleil said that officials were hoping that the bear’s collar stopped sending signals in October 2017 because Cinder might have hibernated for winter. However,when the team went to search for the bear, they found the rescued bear’s skeletal remains close to the space where she was set free in 2015 — in the mountains external Leavenworth, or Washington. According to officials,the bear cub was only five years old when she was shot dead.
