dangerous Explanation: Since three were killed in "nødverge" (in self defence) I would think that the word dangerous would apply. (Or harmful, I guess) Certainly not vermin or pests, since they are rats or mice, rodents, etc. |

animals that could cause harm / harmful animals Explanation: "Skadedyr" er et begrep du må være forsiktig med her! Det betyr jo vanligvis småkryp. Når det gjelder rovdyr som blir skutt, som bjørn, har jeg hørt ordet "harm" bli brukt flere ganger. Jeg foreslår derfor det ordet. "harmful" kan også brukes, vil jeg tro. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2008-05-18 14:03:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Eksempel på bruk: Present State laws make no provision for “open season” on bear; however, they do provide for protection of property from harmful animals. http://www.lifesweaving.com/bear.html The exterminationof bears treated as harmful animals is amongst the majorfactors affecting the population. http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:C5WhSimdezsJ:www.lcie.o... People, however, misunderstand that the number of bears is excessively increasing and spillover bears come out from the forests to eat farm crops. As a result, they are exterminated as harmful animals. http://www.japanfs.org/en/college/note0712-02.html Johnny added that bears, wolverines, snakes, frogs, and misipisiwak 'water panthers' were the harmful animals associated with the north. http://content.cdlib.org/view?docId=ft0f59n6tb&chunk.id=d0e6... Jenkins said he shot the bear because he feared it would harm him or his dog. http://www.blueridgenow.com/article/20080517/NEWS/805170324/... They [Black bears] cause more human harm than do far more ill-reputed grizzlies. http://www.foggymountain.com/handgun-bear-hunting.shtml With respect to this black bear shot by police, what harm was it causing? http://www.battlecreekenquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2008-05-18 14:32:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Uttrykket "harmful animals" står i lovteksten (jfr. min første link ovenfor). Jeg mener dette er avgjørende fordi man åpenbart forsøker å gi en rettslig grunn for å felle bjørnene. Det er nødverge og "harmful animals" som her gir juridisk rett til å felle bjørn. |

nuisance animals Explanation: Lots of Google hits for nuisance animals. I'd say you have to be seriously big and ballsy to call a brown bear a 'pest'.... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2008-05-18 16:33:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If for some reason you don't like 'nuisance bear', you might go with 'killer bear'. It's actually appropriate for a bear that has already killed or maimed a domestic or farm animal (which is the definition of a bear as skadedyr), or even a human, in which case the NO term would be 'slagbjørn', and there would be open season on the furry teddy. |
