DNA, including some found on a stick with which the jogger tried to defend himself, identified the bear as one who had attacked two hikers in the same area in June 2020.
A bear who killed a jogger last week in Italy has been given a stay of execution – even though the animal had previously mauled people.
The animal – officially JJ4, but commonly known as Gaia – fatally mauled 26-year-old Andrea Papi on April 5 in a nature reserve near Caldes, a town in Italy’s mountainous northeast corner. His body was found a day later, after his family reported him missing. A statement on the website of the animal welfare group Anti-Vivisezione said that they petitioned the court to protect JJ4 because the order to cull was “an action that appeared more like a gesture of revenge against the bear than an effective search for everyone’s safety in a peaceful and informed coexistence.”
JJ4 is one of about 100 bears in the province of Trentino. Twenty years ago, there were three; then the European Union project Life Ursus began to reintroduce brown bears into the region. The original projection was that the bears would spread across the Alps, but most have remained in Trentino.Fugatti’s office said that the project had “become unsustainable.” There are now three other bears with judicial orders to be culled.
