A bear wanders along the streets of Badin the province of Trent, and the images go viral. It’s up to you to post them Claudio Ciaprovincial councilor, who from his social profiles denounces the presence of wild animals near inhabited centers or right inside them, with a poisonous arrow towards those who defend local fauna.
The words of Claudio Cia
Claudio Cia writes: “This night, around 2 am, a bear was wandering around the town of Malé, while the country was celebrating“. A non-negligible detail, according to the councillor, given that on the occasion of the celebrations there was “live music, stalls and many kids on the streets“.
Therefore, the dart against the “living room animal rights activists” – as defined by Cia – which keeps alive the flame of the tug of war between activists and local institutions, given that the debate on bears in Trentino Alto Adige is always open. The counselor writes: “The bear is a dangerone lethal power. Under the soft fur and cute little face, the bear remains a ferocious predator“.
There is no shortage of attacks against the CIA itself, accused of pillorying “a scared bear”, but neither are comments from residents who invite activists to experience urban realities up close in close contact with bears to perceive their danger.
Oipa’s response
L’International animal protection organization recalls that councilor Claudio Cia, who released the video of the bear in the town of Bad he is a supporter of the Trentino law which provides for the culling of up to eight bears a year. The note reads:
He probably doesn’t consider how much the lack of adequate prevention measures to ensure the safety of residents, hikers and the animals themselves can cause wildlife to encroach on residential areas.
The comparison with bear management in other locations, such as in National park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise it’s natural: “The Autonomous Province of Trento still has a lot to learn when it comes to wildlife management”.
