“This level of trust on the part of the bears can no longer be tolerated and I call on those responsible to take action,” the mayor of Caldes, Antonio Maini, told “Nos”. In Caldes, the bear Jj4 fatally injured a 26-year-old jogger in April 2023.
Bear population to be contained
Trentino recently approved a draft law to curb the spread of the bear population. It provides for the possibility of killing up to eight animals per year. According to the latest estimate, their number is over 100. According to the draft, it is up to the Trentino governor, Maurizio Fugatti, to order the culling of problematic specimens. The motion requires a positive opinion from the regional council.
