Bear Cubs Rehabbed

The Pauline Schneegas Wildlife Foundation near Silt says a pair of orphaned bear cubs will likely be released back into the wild next spring.  The mother was shot by DOW officers near Crestone in August, suspected of killing a goat on a nearby ranch.  The Denver Post says caregivers haven't gotten too close to the cubs to maintain a fear of humans, and help ensure a successful transition back into the wild.
