Title: Italian authorities hunting bear killers
Post by: chokkan 2 on October 05, 2007, 06:35:16 PM

Thats just sad, 3 bears of an endangered species being killed like that, and the only reason their endangered is no doubt due to humans causing their extinction.

In Italy, killing an animal from a protected species can carry a sentence of up three months in jail and a fine, but politicians and environmentalist are calling for a harsher response.
This sentence is far too light, indeed, and I agree that the punishment should be far harsher.
