The incident occurred when the bear attacked him, leading to the shooting. Other hunters involved were also fined, and damages were awarded to environmental groups. The bear, named Caramelles, is now displayed at a museum. The court ruled that the hunters were in a prohibited area, despite claims of inadequate signage.
