Germany and bears

I thought this was an interesting story.

A wild bear crossed the Alps and found its way into Germany - the first in nearly 200 years.

The bear hadn't hurt any people, but it apparently killed a sheep and ate a pet guinea pig. It was killed. I appreciate the response from Hubert Weinzierl:

"That is the stupidest of all solutions," Hubert Weinzierl, president of the German Environmental Protection Association, told reporters. "In other countries, humans and bears coexist in relative harmony. Only in Germany would he be liquidated."
