“1:15 p.m. on Saturday”. Pyrenees: when the bear attacks – France 2 – November 27, 2021

With this magazine document 1:15 p.m. on Saturday“(Twitter, #1:15 p.m.), signed Yvan Martinet, Patrice Brugère, David Geoffrion and Oktay Sengul, review of a hunting accident that occurred in Ariège on November 20, 2021, during a wild boar hunt near the small village of Seix, in the Couserans massif.

A septuagenarian hunter is posted for observation when he sees two cubs. A moment later, their mother pounces on him, grabs him by the leg and drags him for several meters. He shoots and kills the animal. The Foix public prosecutor’s office announced, Friday, November 26, the opening of a judicial investigation against X for “destruction of a protected species”.

How will the two cubs survive without their mother?

And here is the revived polemic: can the man and the bear coexist? Should we reintroduce the endangered species? Of the 64 bears identified in 2020 in the Pyrenees, a good number are concentrated in the Couserans, where the accident took place …

The bear’s body was recovered by helicopter, at an altitude of over 1,200 meters, then transported by the gendarmes for an autopsy. She leaves behind two little ones. How are they going to survive without their mother, in the forest and the mountains, as winter begins to set in?
