A tragic incident involving a bear cub occurred in the Penza region.
The animal died during the operation to capture it.
The bear cub was severely emaciated and would not have survived even without intervention, RIA Novosti writes.
The regional forestry ministry explained that the bear cub entered the village of Ustye in the Spassky district.
The animal was aggressive and not afraid of people, which created a danger.
The rescue operation was carried out taking into account the danger of the wild animal.
According to a spokesman for the ministry, the bear cub looked unwell and was extremely emaciated.
He would not be able to survive in natural conditions.
Forestry Ministry and police officers began the operation after receiving a call from local residents.
The decision to catch the bear had to be made based on the situation.
The Ministry of Forestry itself did not conduct an investigation into the actions of its employee.
