Two weeks after a brown bear’s fatal attack on jogger Andrea Papi, 26, in Trentino, northern Italy, the threat has been averted: bear “Gaia” was captured and is waiting in an electrically-secured enclosure for authorities to decide how to continue with her. But how exactly are problem bears identified and how are they removed? We asked around.
Trentino in northern Italy is home to more than 100 brown bears — and the female “Gaia,” which researchers dubbed “JJ4,” isn’t the first specimen to cause trouble. Even her mother had to be captured because she was not afraid of humans – the animal had been fed. Brother “Bruno” was shot in Bavaria after attacks on cattle, brother “JJ3” also in Italy because he was looking for food in settlements. However, before such drastic measures are usually taken, an attempt is made to capture the animals alive. That is how it works.
