Environmental activists say an Austrian hunter has killed Romania's largest bear for a 7,000-euro ($8,400) fee in what they say amounted to poaching.
Arthur, a 17-year-old male brown bear, was killed in Romania's central Covasna County last month by Prince Emanuel von und zu Liechtenstein, Romania's Agent Green nongovernmental organization said in a
statement on May 5.
Agent Green chief Gabriel Paun said the 32-year-old Austrian shot Arthur after the Environment Ministry gave special approval for the shooting of a female bear with cubs following a farmer's complaint that the animal had caused extended and repeated damage to crops in the area.
