Not sure if bear is tecnically a disease. There were any bears on the Spanish border with France, Aragon territory, and the French have killed them recently, so, probably is a disease if you have to live being beekeeper.
In Spain we have any Spanish bears in the Northwestern mountains, Asturias, Leon, Cantabria, Galicia, "territorio vaquero".
The bear has been killed using this tramp, curious. Is the bear silly? Or is it really hungry?
I write the name of the book and the autor, to avoid trikismikis. "El Trampeo" by Moisés D. Boza.
