France releases fourth Slovenian bear
Fri Jun 2, 6:04 AM ET

France released a fourth bear in the Pyrenees on Friday as part of a contested program to repopulate the region.

The 4-year-old male, nicknamed Balou and weighing 194 pounds, was captured in Slovenia like the others.

Pyrenean farmers have protested the program, fearing the bears will attack their livestock. Brown bears disappeared from the Pyrenees in the 1980s. The three other bears were released in 1996.
