  "summary": "In British Columbia, Canada, four grizzly bears have been killed after DNA tests confirmed they were responsible for the deaths of a mother and her daughter. Jennifer Balcarras, 48, and her daughter, Selah Reed, 20, died after going for an afternoon walk in a trail area in Bella Coola. The British Columbia Conservation Officer Service initially suspected an animal attack after the women were reported missing on November 1. Forensic testing and animal DNA analysis confirmed that a female grizzly sow and her three cubs were responsible for the attack, which conservation officers destroyed in accordance with provincial guidelines. The incident is described as very rare by the lead investigator, Inspector Jeff Tyre.",
