A female marsican brown bear, endemic to central Italy, named Amarena, has been shot dead on the outskirts of a town in central Italy by a 56-old man but local governor Marco Marsilio said no bear in the Abruzzo region had ever threatened residents with any danger. He also said on social media that the killing was incomprehensible and was a “very grave act against the whole Abruzzo region which leaves pain and anger”. The man who killed the animal was identified and questioned by local police.
