Bear goes from hero to hunted in a day

Yesterday he was a welcome guest and today he is a hunted killer. This is the fate of the first wild bear to be spotted in Germany since 1835. Bavaria’s environment minister, who yesterday welcomed the bear, says in a dramatic turn-around that the bear is a danger to humans. The BBC reports that the seven sheep killed by the bear near human habitation led to the decision to turn hunters loose on the animal. It is feared that especially children could be at risk while the bear is loose.
