Thank you for posting this link, Ripp.
The hunter is still in hospital - I think, but his life is apparently not endangered.
Bears are fully protected in France and re-introducing bears - coming from Slovenia, was decided some years ago by the Paris politicians, most probably with aim to secure the Greens' votes; local communities in the Pyrenees were mostly against.
Bears have proved to be a nuisance, causing much trouble to farmers, mainly when cattle (sheep, cows and horses) are left roaming the mountain pastures in summer and also more recently to hikers, who have reported some tense encounters; such an incident had been expected for some time now. The last time a hunter shot a bear in a self-defence situation was in 2004.
Same issue with wolves, not attacking people yet but impacting negatively on the farming community; also fully protected in France.
Louis
