In memoriam, Bruno the Bear
Bear originally Italian but the adopted by the germans and named by the Press as Bruno, was shot early today by “Bavarian hunters”. The bear had avoided the partly Finnish bear hunting party who had tried to trap and stun the bear for several weeks. Bruno, aka JJ1, was a part of a project which […]
