Grizzly bear 'Felicia' and her cubs may be euthanized for being too close to Wyoming road

A grizzly bear mother and her two cubs are at risk for relocation or even death after making their home near a Wyoming highway.
The bear, known as "Felicia" by Jackson Hole residents poses a threat, wildlife officials say, for her family's proximity to a 55-mile highway in the Togwotee Mountain Pass.
People have also been spotted approaching and feeding the bears.
"Human-conditioned behavior," the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said in a news release, could lead to aggressive bear behavior.
If park rangers aren't able to scare the bear off the road using rubber bullets or loud noises over the next 10 to 14 days, U.S. Fish and Wildlife service says Felicia and her cubs will likely be relocated or euthanized.
Wildlife advocates, including Savannah Rose Burgess, say euthanasia shouldn't be an option. Burgess launched a petition on June 11 to save Felicia and her cubs that has more than 34,500 signatures as of Thursday.

Sounds to me like the road is too close to the Grizzly bears.

I hope they don't do that, "Felicia" is just getting the bear necessities

The Rangers need to leave those bears alone and let the idiots get eaten. It’ll be best for all species involved.

Why can't they shoot them in the leg rather than resort to lethal force?

Because unfortunately it's illegal to shoot them in the leg too.
Eta: Sorry I thought you were talking about the idiot tourists.

That's just stupid. Those biologists are third rate if that's the solution.
Bears on roads are a dime dozen locally.

So I researched Savanah with the belief that I would find someone disgusting that I could make fun of. It turns out that she is a wildlife photographer and has taken some really cool pics. Congrats to her for knowing her dream and chasing it.
Here is her work:

We have bears gone amok in Southeast. They are downtown, in the neighborhoods, in garages, around picnics..
But our spring comes earlier than it does in the interior, bears come out earlier and in larger numbers.
We do have to putdown a few bears every year, but mostly after they've been repeat offenders of killing chickens, or getting in people's garages..
