Bear attack on sheep prompts emergency talks between France and Spain

Bear attacks on local sheep have forced Spain and France to call an emergency meeting, which the local press is dubbing “summit of the bear”.

Spanish and French environmental officials met today after the Autonomous Community of Navarre, the Spanish territory where the attacks have taken place, requested governments discuss a solution to a French bear roaming freely and killing Spanish sheep.

Claverina, a female Slovenian bear, was released in the French Pyrenees region of Béarn in late 2018 as part of a plan to revive the local bear population....
