Three bears from an endangered species — including a male known as Bernardo, notorious for raiding chicken coops — have been found dead of suspected poisoning in central Italy, authorities said Wednesday, calling it foul play.

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.
