00:00Prosecutors are appealing the acquittal of nine indigenous men charged with killing Formosan black bears and other protected animals.
00:08A judge had dismissed their case in November, saying the animals were not hunted for profit
00:13and that one of the bears was shot because it posed a threat to humans.
00:18It's the first such ruling since indigenous hunting restrictions were loosened in February,
00:22but prosecutors say the men's actions were cruel and did not follow traditional indigenous hunting practices.
00:29Their appeal aims to clarify the line between indigenous hunting rights and conservation.
