Bear’s European Jaunt May Come to an End
From Times Wire Reports
Austrian authorities said they might allow hunters to shoot a marauding brown bear nicknamed Bruno after recent efforts to capture him alive failed.

Authorities in the German state of Bavaria were contemplating organizing a hunt if the bear reappeared in Germany, a spokesman said.
