State officials fear grizzly claws a target

GREAT FALLS (AP) — Game managers in Montana are investigating whether someone may have killed a grizzly bear for its claws and other body parts.

The carcass of the 2-year-old male was discovered last week east of Marias Pass in Lewis and Clark National Forest in northwest Montana. Its claws had been removed.

Authorities say it's not clear whether the bear was killed for the claws or if someone discovered the carcass and then took the claws.

How the bear was killed also is under investigation.

Brian Lakes of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services says there's a big market worldwide for bear body parts.

1. Bear claw Necklaces go for a hefty price

Was in a thrift store the other day and there was a turquoise necklace with a single bear claw for sale.

Price: $45. :-(
