BROWN BEAR HUNTING IN ROMANIA REINSTATED ! We won but only after years of enormous tragedies. In the light of recent events where a brown bear dragged a 19 years old girl off a hiking trails into a ravine, eating her alive, while the enraged hunter who shot the bear consuming the woman was prosecuted by law, sparking and outcry with people and media revolting vocally. In a emergency swift rwapomse under pressure, the Romanian government had no choice but finally to give up the ban. Almost 500 permits have been issued and the total ban on brown bear hunting instated in 2016 has at last been overturned. The government has conservatively estimated the brown bear population at around 8000 subject to much debate, with animal rights activists estimates at only 4000, while the hunters and forestry rangers often estimate the numbers to be at over 10 000. The Parliament voted the reintroduction of bear hunting with an overwhelming majority of 214 votes pro, 7 against and 23 abstaining.

In the meantime:

Romanian prime minister: ...uh well of course we will not be shooting all bears freely....they just don't have uhm enough food and are...coming down to eat...we will...uhm...solve this in an extraordinary Parliament meeting (the hunting law has been sitting in their drawer for almost a year now).
Romanian president: well there are too many bears but of course we won't be shooting them for fun....
Romanian National Hunters' Association (who did close to nothing after the ban was imposed): we told you so...
Romanian Environment Minister: we will shoot all bears who get close to a human settlement
Romanian Mountain Gendarmerie: uh, we have bears?! Did you call 911?
Romanian folk on Facebook: kill them all!
Romanian folk on Facebook: all humans deserve to die by bear death! We have stolen their woods!
Best Romanian folk on Facebook: she should have had a taser! she shouldn't have been there! she was pregnant and her boyfriend pushed her off the cliffs, the bear is a collateral victim. She had been feeding the bear and taking selfies!
Head of a bear sanctuary: I know bear behavior very well! They are cuddly misunderstood lovely creatures who eat grass!
Romanian Green NGOs (who collect millions for nothing in the name of an overgrown species): a tragedy has claimed the lives of a young she-bear and a young she-human.
Romanian Academy of Science (who has a veto right on bear hunting): well uhm the population evaluation doesn't look very exact, we'll say no.
Oh well.
