France: Hunters killed last female bear of pure Pyrenean stock

Worldwide disgust about the extermination


The group Action Nature said in a statement: "There are no extenuating circumstances behind this indescribably catastrophic event. The organisers of this wild boar hunt knew perfectly well that Cannelle and her offspring of this year were in the area when they went to indulge their pleasure."

After the killing of the bear her cub run away. The life of the young animal is also in serious danger. Efforts are being made to save the young animal.
