The Progressive Animal Welfare Society in Lynnwood is caring for two black bear cubs whose mother was euthanized after attacking a woman in Leavenworth on Saturday.

They’re being kept in an area that replicates their surroundings in the wild.

“The bears are in these special enclosures. We call them the bear runs.” Although the bears can be monitored by video camera, Szydlowski says. “They are isolated from all human contact.” Szydlowski says that’s because wildlife agents hope to release the cubs back into the wild this spring. PAWS currently has three other black bears at its rehab center, which is located near the group’s dog and cat shelter in Lynnwood.In general bears avoid people, but they’re naturally curious animals. If they walk toward you, identify yourself as a human by standing up, waving your hands above your head, and talking in a low voice. Back away, avoiding direct eye contact. Don’t run from a bear. WDFW recommends making noise and leashing pets while hiking.
