A woman is in critical condition after a bear attacked her in a forested area outside Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana. Police said the attack on Tuesday in Skofljica, some 6 miles from Ljubljana, occurred at the edge of the forest there. Police have advised Skofljica residents to stay away and be cautious. The incident came just days after authorities approved the culling of 206 brown bears, whose population in the area has grown to around 1,000 bears. The small Alpine nation of just over 2 million people is widely forested with many protected nature zones. Authorities occasionally approve bear or wolf culls despite strong opposition from animal rights groups.
