Bear Gaia captured
Bruno's sister was captured. She had killed a jogger around two weeks ago.
Bear JJ4 captured
During the night, bear JJ4 was taken into custody. The animal had already attacked two hikers in June 2020 and in April 2023 killed 26-year-old runner Andrea Papi in the forests of Monte Peller.
Killing order suspended
The Administrative Court of the Trentino region suspended the killing order and left open the possibility of capture. The bear will be housed at the Casteller wildlife centre until a decision is reached. More on the topic of species protection and animal rights.

More on the subject of recreational hunting: What the research says about this is shown by Hunting fact-checked: the state of research.
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.
