How Much do Europeans Hate Self-Defense?

They are prosecuting a man for fighting off a bear. Hunter, 81, on trial for killing protected bear that mauled both his legs

Apparently he should have let the bear eat him.

An 81-year-old hunter has gone on trial for killing a protected brown bear that attacked him and mauled both of his legs.

André Rives was boar hunting with 15 others in the Pyrenees when he noticed two bear cubs during the November 2021 incident, Le Parisien reported.

"I had no choice but to face a bear that was going to eat me,” he told a court in France, explaining that he had been targeted by the cubs’ mother. The pensioner said he was grabbed and dragged by the bear as he tried to fight her off.

He was outside the 'designated hunting area,' but the people he was with claimed the signage was missing or unclear.

He faces up to three years in prison for the bear’s death and a €150,000 (£126,000) fine for the destruction of a protected species, Le Parisien reports, while the other hunters face fines for shooting without authorisation in a state reserve.

Because your life is not worth anything the powers-that-be.
