Prince of Liechtenstein shot Europe’s largest bear in Székely Land
Change language:
Arthur, the 17-year old brown bear – registered as the largest in Europe – was shot during an illegally organised trophy hunt in a protected area near the village of Ozsdola in Székely Land. Prince Josef-Emanuel of Liechteinstein probably shot the protected animal.
According to the latest news, the case happened in March. A hunting company requested permission from the Ministry of Environment to shoot a young female bear that caused several damages in the farms of the surrounding village, Ozsdola. The permit was obtained; however, the hunters inadvertently shot another bear in the forest of Székely Land.
Arthur, the 17-year-old brown bear whose life was taken, was the most giant bear observed in Romania but probably also one of the largest in the European Union.
The brown bear is strictly protected in the European Union. According to Agent Green, the shot can only be used in serious cases if there is no alternative solution and the bear endangers human lives and property.

I understand that hunting and bullfight is a tradition.
I feel we should find a more civilised way for a pastime.
Occasionally some culling is necessary if a particular species threaten to overwhelm endangered ones.
It breaks my heart to see innocent animals being killed for entertainment.

He paid a lot more then 7000 euros…to get the permit he paid a nice bribe.
