The Arizona Game and Fish Department is seeking information about the killing of an adult black bear and a cub that occurred in the morning hours on Saturday, October 26. The unfortunate poaching of these two animals took place in the southern part of Game Management Unit 5A.

Game and Fish Officials state that after the adult bear was killed, it was field dressed and removed from the scene. The cub had been left in the field but the paws had been removed.

"Anyone who participates in these types of activities has no respect for wildlife," said Jim Madden, regional investigator for the Flagstaff Game and Fish office. "Hopefully someone will provide us good information and we will be able to catch these individuals," Madden said.

Anyone having any information about this incident is asked to contact the Operation Game Thief Hotline at 1-800-352-0700. A reward of up to $500 is being offered for information that leads to a citation being issued for the illegal killing.
