An 11-year-old bear was shot in Brașov after ignoring the deterrent signals.

The authorities in the municipality of Brașov announced that a 11-year-old bear was shot after it ignored acoustic signals intended to scare away wild animals.

The incident took place on Jepilor Street, where intervention teams were monitoring the presence of bears in the area, after receiving reports about a bear with two cubs. During the monitoring, it was found that there was also another bear with three cubs in the area. While the bear with cubs reacted to the acoustic signals and retreated into the forest, the older bear remained in the area, prompting the team to decide to extract it.

This is part of a series of recent interventions by the authorities, who have extracted several bears that were searching for food in the town.
