Court suspends killing order
A court in the northern Italian province of Trentino has suspended the order to kill a 17-year-old bear that had killed a man jogging in the forest. Andrea Papi, 26, was the first person to be killed by a bear attack in Italy in modern times.
Reintroduction since 1998
Until 1998, there were only four wild bears left in Trentino. Nine bears were brought from Slovenia to Trentino. Today there are around 100 bears in the region. “You cannot kill these animals, but we need to work on a project to live with them,” said Ornella Dorigatti of OIPA.

More on the subject of recreational hunting: The scientific evidence is presented in the overview Studies on the Effects of Recreational Hunting.
The position of IG Wild beim Wild: IG Wild beim Wild rejects recreational hunting. Our model is the canton of Geneva, which has managed without recreational hunting since 1974: without hunting seasons, without hunting dogs, without driven hunts, without high seats, without the animal cruelty and crime that go hand in hand with hunting season elsewhere. What has worked there for over fifty years disproves every position paper by JagdSchweiz. An association that bases its policy on claims it refutes in its own documents is not a professional organisation, but a factory for misinformation.
