Environmentalists have organized a protest at 6.30 pm in front of the Council of Ministers building in Sofia. The reason for this is the approval issued by the Ministry of Agriculture for shooting of the bear that attacked a woman from Belitsa picking mushrooms near the Dancing Bear Park close to the town. The ministry specified that the bear would be shot only in case of another attack or repeated aggression shown by the animal.
"Today, the government approved the shooting of the bear from Belitsa, despite the public reaction in its defense and despite the opinion of experts that the attack was the result of a defensive reaction and was not a case of deliberate aggression," protest organizers said. More than 35,000 signatures have been collected in a petition in defense of the animal.
The woman attacked by the bear is in good condition.
