@limauricio took this photo of a flock of sheep in Castillon-en-Couserans, in southern France. Brown bears are haunting the shepherds who drive their flocks across the high #Pyrenees. Hidden by fog or glimpsed only from a distance, the predatory animal has driven some of these sheepmen from the high meadows. “I’ve seen the carcasses,” said Christian Marrot, a sheep-raiser. “Now, I’m keeping mine below.” Bears, sheep and humans are a volatile mix here. Under European Union rules, France must introduce more bears into the Pyrenees. (The centuries-old brown bear population dwindled nearly to extinction in the 1990s.) But the shepherds are not interested in the bear as “an element of the natural heritage in the Pyrenees,” as a government brochure puts it. They see their sheep being eaten. Not just that, but dozens of sheep, frightened by bears, ran to their deaths off high cliffs last year. “I’ve lost half my flock,” Christian said. “It’s not worth it. Let people work in peace.” Another shepherd, Robin Cazalé, saw a bear “calmly eating one of my beasts,” he said. “It was like seeing your dog being eaten.” The bear, he added, “saw me, he was mocking me.” Visit the link in our profile to read more, and to see more #??? photos.
