This is one of brown bears from population where new bears in France are coming from.

It is not only France where local people have problems with bears. Leaving aside everything that's going on there, these exports of few bears to France are heplful when talking with locals in Slovenia. Now they see that also Western countries are trying to co-exist with large carnivores. Before the question I often got was: Why do we have to live with few hundreds of bears in our small country, when the first bears that managed to get to big Germany got killed?
