A man has been jailed for three months for his involvement in shooting a sleeping black bear in her den, unknowingly caught by a research camera as he then turned his rifle point-blank on her “shrieking” newborn cubs.

Andrew Renner, 41, was with his son on the remote Esther Island in the Gulf of Alaska on April 14, 2018, when they shot the three sleeping bears.
