紐約中央公園發現幼熊屍體
Bear cub found dead under bush inside Central Park
A bear cub has been found dead under a bush inside New York City's Central Park, and authorities suspect animal cruelty played a role in its death.
一隻幼熊屍體被發現陳屍於紐約市中央公園的灌木叢內，當局懷疑幼熊是否因虐待動物而死。
Police say the cub was found Monday morning by a dog walker who notified a Central Park Conservancy employee. There were signs of trauma to the body.Authorities say it may have been dumped there.
警方表示，一名遛狗民眾在星期一早上發現幼熊屍體後通報中央公園保護協會員工。幼熊屍體上有傷口，當局認為屍體可能是被丟在那裏的。
Florence Slatkin told WABC-TV that she and a friend were walking out of the park when her friend's dog spotted something near a bicycle lying on the ground.
佛羅倫斯史拉特汀接受WABC-TV電視台訪問時說，她當時和朋友正走出公園，朋友的狗發現躺在地上的腳踏車旁邊有東西。
“When we went and looked closer, we saw something on the back wheel that could have been a raccoon,” Slatkin said. “I didn't know what it was.Then, I thought it was a big dog, the head of a dog that was obviously dead.”
「當我們趨前並仔細看，我們看到後輪那邊有個東西，以為是隻浣熊。」史拉特汀說，「我當時不知道那是什麼；接著，我認為那是隻大狗，從頭部來看牠很明顯已經死亡。」
Bears are not among the park's known wildlife population, and there are no bears at the Central Park Zoo right now. No bears were reported missing from other zoos.
中央公園的野生動物沒有熊，中央公園動物園內目前沒有熊，也沒有其他動物園通報有熊失蹤。
