WAV Comment – Bet he was wearing full combat gear when he murdered her; cos hunters have to dress up as real tough men you Know ? ! ? – we know that the killer was a hunter; and the ‘self defence’ issue has been kicked well into the grass; he killed because like all hunters, he just has a blood lust which goes against the norm – he enjoys killing.  But we understand that fortunately, he is now getting a hard time. Lest really hope that the cubs are found by the search teams; and that one day they can go hunting for revenge.

A popular female bear has been shot dead on the outskirts of a town in central Italy and a man has claimed he opened fire out of fear.

The bear, named Amarena, was filmed earlier this week roaming around the town of San Sebastiano Dei Marsi with her two cubs.

Local governor Marco Marsilio said no bear in the Abruzzo region had ever threatened residents with any danger.

The governor said on social media that the killing was incomprehensible and was a “very grave act against the whole Abruzzo region which leaves pain and anger”.

The man who killed the animal was identified and questioned by local police.

“I shot out of fear, but I didn’t want to kill. I found her inside my property and it was an impulsive, instinctive act,” he was quoted as saying by Ansa news agency.

Park director Luciano Sammarone told Ansa that the bear had crossed a private fence, but people should reserve judgement until it was established what had happened. “However, I’m struggling to believe this was a matter of self-defence.”

“Amarena was a symbol of the park,” said Piero Genovesi, head of Italy’s wildlife service Ispra. “Everybody loved her. She was so frequently observed; she was never aggressive.”
