In Trentino, Italy, a law is being planned that would allow the killing of up to eight bears per year. State Governor Maurizio Fugatti announced this on Thursday. In Italy, the debate over the coexistence of bears and humans has come to a head since the death of a jogger.
The planned law is intended to ensure public safety and the protection of the mining industry. “In a terrible year marked by the murder of a young jogger, we hope that the regulations will come into force as soon as possible so that the Autonomous Province can take swift and effective action against bears and wolves and guarantee the safety of the people . farms,” the state’s governor said Thursday.
In detail, the new law allows up to eight bears to be killed per year. Agreements have already been made with the central government. However, Fugatti is at odds with animal protection groups, which only won a victory in court on Wednesday. As reported, the Regional Administrative Court in Trento has again suspended the killing of two problem bears. This meant that an older scheme was frozen again.
Case in court in January
However, the man, known with the code MJ5, who attacked a man with his dog, may be caught, the court ruled. Problem bear JJ4, currently in an animal center in Casteller, is believed to be responsible for the fatal attack on a 26-year-old jogger last April.
A hearing is scheduled for January 11, during which a decision will be made on transferring JJ4 to a bear sanctuary in Romania. Animal welfare association LAV would reimburse the costs.
