Bears could keep kids from school

BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Some 30 brown bears have been terrorising a Transylvanian mountain village and could delay the start of the school year, local authorities say.


Villagers are afraid to let their children go outside, with the bold bears are making off with domestic animals in broad daylight, mayor Nicolae Codreanu told state radio said on Thursday from Poiana Marului, 106 miles north of the Romanian capital Bucharest.


Animal experts were seeking a solution before the start of the school year on September 15.
