Bear report from CFZ archive edition, house arrest status pending./eom Polar bear attacks tourist camp OSLO, Norway (Reuters) - Authorities on Norway's Arctic islands of Spitzbergen searched for a polar bear shot after it attacked a dog belonging to a group of campers. The bear attacked the dog at a camp in the Billefjord area near the mining settlement of Pyramiden, a spokesman for the governor's office said . None of the seven tourists in the camp were injured when the bear struck at around 3 a.m. The fate of the dog was unknown. ‘They shot at the polar bear and may have hit it in the neck. We are searching for it now,’ the spokesman said. Tourists travelling to Spitzbergen are warned of the dangers of polar bears and advised to carry arms when venturing outside populated areas. In 1995, two people were killed by a bear and last Oct a dog was attacked. Spitzbergen and the Barents Sea area has around 4,000 polar bears, one of the highest population densities of the animals since a ban on hunting was introduced in 1973. cfzarchive.tripod.com
