Brown Bear Who Killed Man in Attack in the Italian Alps Remains in Captivity After High Court Prevents Local Authorities From Culling It
The mountain village of Caldes, in the Italian Alps, is one of the most beautiful places in the country. But today, villagers are scared to even go into those forests.
The reason is simple: a neighbor, while on a run last year, was mauled to death by a female bear.
The attack has brought to light the controversy over a ‘rewilding’ project reintroducing bears into this region.
This comes at a time when hundreds of brown bears across Europe are being culled – from Sweden to Romania.
Daily Mail reported:
“The attack on Andrea Papi, 26, as he jogged in the Dolomites, shocked Italy, sparking a national debate over the wisdom of a policy to reintroduce brown bears here.
