Per Wikipedia, The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), (horribilis = horrible) :

Authorities in British Comlubia,, Canada must have a program to deal with bears.

The B.C. government kills approximately 50 problem bears each year[42] and overall spends more than one million dollars annually to address bear complaints, relocate bears and kill them.[42]

Actually I’ve always thought that relocating problem grizzlies to Marin County would be a good idea. The grizzly appears on California’s state flag but have been extinct here for some time. Marinites are mostly unarmed advocates of gun control and would pose no threat to the majestic creatures.
