After several attacks on people, the Slovakia government approved the 350 -bearing shooting. Animal rights activists reacted furiously.
“We can’t live in a country where people are afraid of going into the forest,” Prime Minister Robert Fico told journalists on Wednesday. Environmental activists accused the government of the government and instead demanded a better clarification of the population. The EU state has tried to make it easier for bears to be launched.
Only “problem bears” can be shot down
However, a guideline from Brussels applies, according to which only “problem bears” can be killed those people or property – and also only if there is no other solution. Last year, 93 bears were shot in Slovakia, as the Slovak newspaper “Dennik N” reported. However, research by journalists from the research center “Jan Kuciak” showed that it was probably not a bear that attacked people.
Environmental activists accused the government of violating international obligations and violating the law. The reaction to bear attacks must be a better clarification of the population about security in nature, the Slovak environmental organization Aevis Foundation explained in the Online Service Facebook.
