Mother bear with 2 cubs is shot dead, sparking outrage in Italy_我的网站

一 |     The slaying of an endangered brown bear near an Italian national park left her two young cubs motherless and sparked outrage in Italy on Friday.Italy's environment minister and animal rights advocates voiced anger and dismay over the killing of the bear in the mountainous Abruzzo region. Local residents, including families with small children, had often stopped to watch the bear and her cubs during the animal family's frequent evening excursions through streets near the park.

             

The National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise described the slain animal, nicknamed Amarena — or Black Cherry in Italian — as one of its most prolific brown bears. Residents coined the name because cherries and black cherries were among the bear's favorite foods, the Corriere della Sera newspaper said.      The park posted a graphic image of the bear lying dead on the ground.The man who shot the bear with a rifle Thursday night in the town of San Benedetto dei Marsi told police the animal was on his property and he felt in danger, the Italian news agency ANSA said.                 "I shot out of fear, but I didn't want to kill. I found her inside my property and it was an impulsive, instinctive act," he was quoted as saying by ANSA, the BBC reported.Park director Luciano Sammarone told ANSA that the bear had crossed a private fence. "However, I'm struggling to believe this was a matter of self-defense," Sammarone told the news agency, adding that he would reserve judgment until the investigation is complete.Prosecutors were looking into a possible charge of animal killing, and police took the rifle, which was legally owned by the 56-year-old man, as part of their investigation, the LaPresse news agency said.                      The marsican brown bear, endemic to central Italy, is considered at an elevated risk of extinction. The park says about 60 bears live within the park or in its surrounding areas."The killing of a marsican female bear is a grave episode, on which it's dutiful to shed light as quickly as possible,'' Environment Minister Gilberto Pichetto said."Our commitment is aimed also at the protection of the bear's cubs, doing everything possible so that they can remain free,'' he said in a statement.Drones were being used in the search for the cubs, LaPresse said.The head of World Wildlife Fund's Italy office, Luciano Di Tizio, called the bear's slaying a "very grave, unjustifiable crime of nature" and the result of a "constant campaign against wildlife."The motherless cubs aren't yet self-sufficient and thus are at high risk, triggering the search for them in the parklands, he added."A self-assured, but completely peaceful bear, Amarena was part of the collective imagination and was the subject of pride in a land that has, in the bear, a symbol" of local nature, Di Tizio said.                      The theme of bear vs. humans has taken on political connotations in Italy and landed in the courts. Earlier this year, an administrative court's ruling spared, for now, the life of a brown bear that fatally attacked a runner on a mountain trail in Italy's Alpine region.Local political authorities had issued an order to have the 17-year-old female bear, known as Jj4, euthanized. A court hearing on the bear's fate is expected in December. Animal rights groups have challenged the order to put down the bear.The brown marsican bear which was killed on Thursday is a subspecies that is genetically different from alpine bears.Italian state TV said Friday that Amarena was the mother of another one of the park's bears that met a violent end. That bear, which was fatally struck by a car earlier this year, earned national fame when it broke into a bakery and munched on cookies.

。    本週五清早，WNBA常規賽將上演一場較量，由陽光主場迎戰夢想。夢想今季整體表現遠超陽光，即使是役作客出戰，夢想也有能力凱旋而歸。
    
    　　雖然陽光上仗以3分的優勢險勝水星，但球隊的發揮其實並不是特別理想，其中正選五虎無一人得分上雙就是最好的證明，要不是後備上陣的艾莉亞愛華士和堅妮迪貝克分別貢獻14分和15分，陽光恐怕難以贏波。另外，上仗的勝利也僅僅是陽光今季的第8場勝仗，她們的賽季整體表現僅僅好過副班長暴風，而且該役之前球隊正遭遇五連敗打擊。值得一提的是，格蓮娜上仗終於傷癒復出，但她僅6投2中貢獻5分，這位將近36歲的老將早已不復當年之勇。陣容方面，莉根比亞絲和艾舒隆積遜因各種原因缺陣。
    
    　　夢想今季整體表現值得稱讚，前32場常規賽過後，她們取得其中20場勝利，目前的勝率也達到62.5%。近況方面，上仗戰勝節奏後，夢想近9仗取得7勝2負的不俗戰績。球員方面，在上仗戰勝節奏一役中，包括正選五虎在內，全隊共6人得分上雙，其中連妮侯活、佐甸加拿大和安祖列絲三人均貢獻至少20分。至於對賽方面，過去4次與陽光交鋒，夢想不但均是最後的贏家，而且單場至少贏16分、合計贏74分之多，可見雙方實力已經不在同一檔次。是役揮軍再戰陽光，夢想肯定值得看高一線。人員方面，迪希娜帕帕與I.艾華因各種原因缺陣。
