The meat of brown bears, a protected species in the EU, could soon be available to eat in Slovakia after the populist government approved plans for sale.

Last month, the cabinet authorised a plan to shoot about a quarter of the country's 1,300 brown bears in response to some recent fatal encounters.

I’ve heard that the taste of bear meat varies wildly depending on its diet. If they’ve been eating a lot of fish, the meat tastes awful - but after gorging on blueberries, it’s supposedly absolutely delicious.

Probably subjective.
