Polish bear may be killed by park wardens after crossing into Slovakia

Polish park keepers have urged their counterparts in Slovakia not to shoot a young bear which has turned aggressive after being fed by tourists. National park authorities in Slovakia's Tatra mountains have threatened to kill the 18-month-old female, which crossed the border between the two countries a month ago and has since attacked five hikers and raided a food store. Animal rights campaigners have called for the bear to be saved, but Slovak park authorities have said rescuing it could be too expensive. (Reuters)
