ROME - Italian politicians and wildlife experts condemned on Friday the shooting dead of a rare brown bear, as a search was under way for her two cubs.
Amarena was one of the most popular of the Marsican brown bears in the Abruzzo National Park in central Italy, often pictured in and around the area with her offspring. A local man was immediately identified as the shooter, according to park authorities, which condemned the “very serious incident”. The 56-year-old reportedly told police he fired out of fear when Amarena entered his property on the outskirts of the town of San Benedetto dei Marsi, outside the park area.
Amarena was one of only about 60 such bears in the park, and one of the most prolific females, filmed this summer out and about with her two cubs.
