Russia shocked by video of bear being crushed to death

Russian investigators are examining footage to determine whether it constitutes an animal cruelty criminal offence

Russian investigators are looking into a disturbing video of a bear being crushed to death by a group of men riding in off-road vehicles over Siberian tundra.

In the video, apparently shot by one of the assailants, two trucks normally used by Russian oil and mining workers in off-road conditions repeatedly drive over a brown bear sitting in the snow.
