4-year-old bear aggressively seeking food killed at Montana national park
A 4-year-old female bear started aggressively searching for food in a Montana national park, so it was killed, rangers said. The bear was euthanized June 5 in West Glacier in Glacier National Park, the National Park Service said in a news release obtained by McClatchy News. 'The bear consistently attempted to enter vehicles and buildings on private property inside the park,' park officials said in the release. It successfully got into one building and one vehicle, officials said. The same bear was captured in 2022 in Kalispell by wildlife officers and relocated to Puzzle Creek, officials said. But it didn't show signs of being food-conditioned until this June, so it was killed, officials said. Park officials said another bear and her cub got a 'food reward from an unattended backpack' June 7 in the park. The Going-to-the Sun Road, which is used by hikers and bikers, was then closed off. 'Wildlife rangers are attempting to discourage the bears bad behavior. If unsuccessful, the bears may have to be relocated or euthanized per the parks Bear Management Guidelines,' officials said. Park officials said a bear can become food-conditioned when it gets a 'human food reward,' which include food, trash, livestock feed and pet food. It can then become more aggressive and bold as it tries to find a human food source. It will need to be killed as hazing the animal will no longer work, park officials said. Glacier National Park visitors can do their part in stopping bears from becoming food-conditioned and comfortable around people, officials said, by: Always keeping your bag or backpack with you and away from bearsNever stopping near bear along a roadStaying 100 yards away from bears at all times The national park is in northwestern Montana. What to do if you see a bear Bear attacks in the U.S. are rare, according to the National Park Service. In most attacks, bears are trying to defend their food, cubs or space. There are steps people can take to help prevent a bear encounter from becoming a bear attack. Identify yourself: Talk calmly and slowly wave your arms. This can help the bear realize you're a human and nonthreatening. Stay calm: Bears usually don't want to attack; they want to be left alone. Talk slowly and with a low voice to the bear. Don't scream: Screaming could trigger an attack. Pick up small children: Don't let kids run away from the bear. It could think they're small prey. Hike in groups: A group is noisier and smellier, the National Park Service said. Bears like to keep their distance from groups of people. Make yourself look big: Move to higher ground and stand tall. Don't make any sudden movements. Don't drop your bag: A bag on your back can keep a bear from accessing food, and it can provide protection. Walk away slowly: Move sideways so you appear less threatening to the bear. This also lets you keep an eye out. Again, don't run: Bears will chase you, just like a dog would. Don't climb trees: Grizzlies and black bears can also climb.

Mayor Cherelle Parker polls favorably despite public safety concerns
Swayed by declines in gun violence and faith in the Parker administration, 59% of Philadelphians say the city is headed in the right direction, per a Pew Charitable Trusts poll released Wednesday. Why it matters: That positive outlook is a change-up from recent years — a 23% improvement from 2022. The big picture: Mayor Cherelle Parker's approval rating was 63% entering her second year in office — one of the highest achieved by an incumbent mayor since 2009, per the report. Almost half of the nearly 2,300 residents polled between January and March rated her handling of public safety as "good" or "excellent," per the survey. About a third believe Parker can deliver on her pledge to make the city greener and cleaner. Yes, but: Fewer are hopeful that her administration can tackle more entrenched issues, such as the opioid crisis in Kensington. 36% of people polled believe her actions addressing the city's drug issues will make "no real difference." Zoom in: That bubbling optimism wasn't shared by North Philly and the River Wards residents, where nearly half of those polled from both areas believe the city is on the wrong track. State of play: Despite a stark reduction in homicides last year, 61% of residents still cited public safety as their top concern this year. It's a drop from 70% in 2022, a year after violent crime hit a record high. More than half of Philadelphians reported hearing gunshots in their neighborhood, down from 65% in 2022. Poverty and homelessness were the city's No. 2 issue, followed by affordable housing and cost of living. By the numbers: Fewer than half of Philadelphians view gun violence as getting worse, a steep drop from 85% in 2022. But only 38% believed homicides had dropped over the last year, and young people between 18 and 29 years old were most likely to think the number of homicides had increased. The fine print: SSRS, an independent research company in Glen Mills, conducted the poll for Pew with a margin of error of ±2.7%. Between the lines: More than half of Philadelphians say they felt "completely" or "pretty" safe in their neighborhoods, compared with 44% in 2022. Philly's Asian residents felt the least safe of all groups, which Pew said was notable because it was the first time the group's sample size was big enough to analyze their responses.

‘Take a time out': Boston Mayor Wu offers advice to Trump's border czar, denounces ICE's tactics
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is calling out President Donald Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, and pushing back on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement over what she calls their 'secret police tactics.' Hundreds take to the streets of Boston protesting ICE operations, 'reign of terror' over immigrants Wu signed an executive order that seeks more information from federal officials on ICE activity. She says the city plans on regularly submitting Freedom of Information Act requests to the Department of Homeland Security to find out who is being detained and why. Wu says there is a lack of transparency between the federal and local governments, with ICE arresting people without due process, wearing masks, and questioning residents about their immigration status based on their ethnicity. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, a native of South Boston and a graduate of Boston College High School in Dorchester, said earlier this month that his agents have been 'doxed' on social media, and often wear masks while on duty and making immigration arrests after officers, and their families, have received death threats. Wu also claims the Trump administration is making Boston less safe and undermining the city's economic progress, tourism, and growth of small businesses. Boston has already taken several legal actions to oppose the Trump administration's attempts to end birthright citizenship, oppose ending humanitarian protections for immigrants, and challenge billions in cuts to funding for medical research. This latest order, Wu said, is to let the community know that Boston is not backing down. 'We are taking every possible action here in our city to push back and to stand up for basic rights for our freedoms and for the opportunities that we have been building here as a city whose mission every day is to be a home for everyone,' Wu said. Wu also advised Homan and ICE to 'take a time out' when it comes to the agency's operations across the country. Just last week, ICE leaders held a news conference announcing the arrests of nearly 1,500 people in a month-long effort in Massachusetts. ICE officials stated that their work was essential to restoring public safety. However, Wu went on to say that Boston is one of the safest major cities in the country, and she doesn't need the federal government to tell her what safety looks like.
