The authorities in the province of Trento announced this on Tuesday. After the bear code JJ4 killed the 26-year-old jogger in April 2023, Trent authorities ordered her capture and execution. The death sentence was blocked by legal objections from environmentalists.
“JJ4 will be relocated by autumn,” Roberto Failoni, councilor for tourism and hunting in Trento, told the daily Corriere del Trentino. The bear will find a new home in the Worbis Bear Park in Thuringia. JJ4’s mother, the bear “Jurka”, has also been in the park in the Black Forest since 2010.
“Climate of fear and hate”
After JJ4 was captured and taken to the “Casteller” wildlife center, the animal protection organization “Lav” got involved. The organization suggested transporting the animal at its own expense to the “Libearty Sanctuary” bear reserve in Zarnesti in Romania. Animal rights activists complained that a “climate of fear and hatred” had been created against bears in Trentino.

In Italy, since the death of the Trentino jogger, the debate about the coexistence of bears and humans has come to a head. Many people protested against the original plans to kill JJ4 and another problem bear coded MJ5.
Twice as many bears as planned
Animal rights activists repeatedly call for people to be made aware of wild animals or to set up wildlife corridors. According to the province of Trento, the number of bears in the area has increased massively since the start of the EU project “Life Ursus” 24 years ago. Instead of 50 as planned, around 100 wild animals have settled.
