After bear attack – shooting order: Trentino politicians are now displayed

Fugatti decided to kill the problem bear even though it was not a public safety emergency as the animal protection organizations were ready to immediately transfer the bear, known by the code JJ4, to other regions to address the public safety problem to solve. “Although Fugatti was well aware of these proposals, he confirmed the decision to kill not only JJ4, but also two other problem bears,” the European Animal Welfare Party complained.

Cancellation order suspended
A decision by the administrative court in Trento caused a stir on Friday after the fatal attack by a bear in Val di Sole in Trentino. The court temporarily suspended the order to shoot the problem bear issued by Fugatti last week, upholding the appeals of animal welfare organizations. Jogger Andrea Papi, 26, was attacked and killed by the bear on April 5 in the Trentino commune of Caldes in Val di Sole.

The animal is the sister of the “problem bear” Bruno, who was shot dead in Bavaria in 2006. The female bear was due to be killed as early as 2020, as JJ4 attacked two people, a father and his son, on Monte Peller. Also in 2020, the administrative court ruled against the murder. Another order to capture the animal was signed on August 11, 2020. As the governor explained, the State Council also overturned this decision.

reduce the number of bears
In Italy, since the death of the Trentino jogger, the debate about the coexistence of bears and humans has come to a head. Trentino wants to kill the female bear and generally massively reduce the number of bears in the area. About 1000 brown bears currently live in Trentino.
