Bears in Russia
At us bears are dangerous. All spring and all summer the wood near my town burns. Therefore animals run from the fire to the town. On May 11, on the suburb of the my town two women were attacked by a bear. They gathered birch sap. Approach of a predator was felt by a dog who started barking loudly. The bear at first attacked it, then one of women, the second was succeeded to escape. She also reported the accident in a call center of police.
On a scene police officers, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the specialist of protection department of fauna left. They saw a bear who dug the earth the victim. A predator which showed aggression, trying to defend the production, shot from 10-meter distance. After the game manager I defined that the woman was attacked by a four-year-old she-bear. She partially removed a scalp from the victim, left a deep wound in a hip and already managed to cover it with earth. The victim was dug out and taken to hospital. It survived.
Today in my town again there is a lot of smoke because the wood burns. I cancelled my jog in park.
