So look, maybe it's just me, but somehow "German" and "shy bear" don't quite fit in the same sentence, do they?

German authorities say that any shy bear which stays in the woods would be welcome in Germany, but Bruno, which roamed villages and mauled sheep night after night last spring, did not score well.

But if you're a bear and insist on living in Germany, you'd do well to at least keep your score up. Bruno, according to the German Press Agency, got shot.
