Grafton attack bear will not be euthanized

GRAFTON, N.H. -

A bear that attacked a woman in Grafton, N.H., will live to see another day.

Wildlife officials say Tracey Colburn, 46, was mauled last Saturday when she opened the door to let her dog out.

Colburn had been cooking and authorities believe the sow and her two cubs may have been attracted by the smell.

Authorities had initially planned to euthanize the bear but have now changed their minds. If the bear is trapped, it will be relocated.
