A few days ago, a bear he had approached the seat of Bozzanafraction of Caldes. Tonight, however, another specimen was wandering the streets of Bad. So in Val di Sole there are already those who are starting to ask urgent interventions towards plantigrades. The recent sightings in the Trentino valley have triggered an appeal by Municipality of Malè “to all institutions capable of acting” to “prevent this from happening in the future painful events and dramatic.”
The administration’s reference is to the death last year of the 23-year-old runner Andrea Papiattacked to death by a bear right there woods of Val di Sole. “Citizens are calling for urgent and decisive interventions to resolve the situation”. Translated: “First of all, they must be made safe immediately operators from the civil protectionequipping them at least with bear spray to be able to act safely”, asks the municipal council.
The alarm was triggered by the sighting of a bear, around 2am on Sunday, in the town center which is celebrating in recent days. In short, the specimen was walking through the streets of the town while “there was still life everywhere with music live, stalls and many Boys on the streets,” said the provincial councilor Claudio Ciaformer Brothers of Italy, before launching himself against the “living room animal lovers” because “outside its habitat, the bear is a dangera lethal power.”
Replying to Claudio Cia’s words comes a note fromInternational animal protection organization (Oipa): “The councillor, supporter of Trentino law which provides for theculling up to eight bears per yearprobably doesn’t consider how much the lack of adequate prevention measures to make residents, hikers and the animals themselves safe from causing it trespassing of wildlife in inhabited centres”, underlines the Oipa which has always “recommended, even in a proactive manner, to the Administration led by Maurizio Fugatti to adopt bloodless tools of deterrence and prevention that favor one peaceful animal-human coexistence“. The animal rights organization also draws a comparison with bear management in the national park Abruzzo, Lazio And Molise “where, to keep the bears safe, they also place themselves temporary traffic bans“. “The autonomous province of Trento still has a lot to learn on the subject of wildlife management”, concludes the Oipa.
