From Times Wire Reports
A Macedonian court convicted a bear of theft and damage for stealing honey from a beekeeper, who fought back with thumping “turbo folk” music.
Zoran Kiseloski told the daily Dnevnik: “I bought a generator, lit up the area and put on songs of Ceca,” a musician. But the bear “attacked the beehives again” when the generator ran out of fuel, he said.
A court in the city of Bitola found the bear guilty and, since the animal has no owner and is a protected species, ordered the state to pay $3,500.
