Romanian lawmakers more than doubled the annual number of legal bear kills on Monday (July 15) to control the population and avoid further attacks against people.

The emergency parliamentary session followed the death last week of a 19-year-old hiker who was attacked by a bear on a popular trail in the Carpathian mountains in central Romania. The country has Europe's largest population of brown bears outside Russia.

The European Union state has annual quotas to proactively control the size of the bear population and to remove animals that have become accustomed to entering cities in search of food.

In 2023, the quotas amounted to 220 annual bear kills. On Monday, lawmakers increased the number to 481 per year.

With hundreds of bear sightings each year, authorities are struggling to keep residents and tourists in mountain towns safe from the wild animals. Local media regularly report bear attacks on people and livestock. — Report from Reuters
