According to the French BFM TV channel on the 15th, the bears from the Americas are "breeding leaves" in the mainland of France, this reproductive power and lack of enemy small mammals, to the local agriculture and natural environment, so the French authorities are classified as "foreign invasive species".

According to French media reports, North American raccoons were first brought as pets by American soldiers stationed at NATO bases in the central and western parts of the country decades ago. There are also reports that Germans brought them into France for fur business. Nowadays, North American raccoons have regarded France as their new home, spreading rapidly with their super reproductive ability and adaptability. Nicolas Pouge, who lives near Bordeaux, said: "I didn't expect raccoons in France. They often visit my house now." Although raccoons are furry and cute, they are very cunning. "They can bypass intelligent monitoring devices and get into the house through cat holes to steal and eat!" Even professional hunters can't catch these raccoons. "They can even lift the cage with their claws and forelimbs," marvels Egal, technical director of the Gironde Hunters Association. "I've never seen any other animal do this!"

Because North American bears do not have enemies in France, they can breathe relentlessly and infect humans with the virus while destroying crops, preying birds and rare amphibians in natural reserves. Scientists estimate that there are currently thousands of bears in Gillette, and they may also be the descendants of bears who escaped from a "exotic farm" in the city of Cadillac at the beginning of the 21st century. Gillette has conducted research into bears, but has not found an effective way to control their populations, and the local Nature Conservation Association believes that the species is now too multiplied and wants to remove them completely from the territory of France.
