The first wild bison to be seen in Germany for 250 years has been shot dead - just a day after it was spotted near a river. <br />A passerby saw the European bison as it was grazing next to the river Oder, close to the eastern German town of Lebus, on the border with Poland. <br />But the next day, an official ruled that the protected animal was a danger to the public and ordered hunters to shoot it.
