The Libearty Sanctuary of Zarnesti
"For at least a year, your administration has been declaring its intention to relocate the bears held at Casteller to restore the facility to its original purpose. Bear JJ4 has already been transferred to Germany. As for M49, I hereby reiterate my willingness to take charge of him and move him, at our expense, to the Libearty Sanctuary in Zarnesti, Romania, where we have already conducted an inspection, obtained the management's approval, and initiated dialogue with the local authorities." This was written by the Honorable Michela Vittoria Brambilla in a certified email sent to the President of the Autonomous Province of Trento, Maurizio Fugatti, and his administration.
The Brambilla Law
"Your authorization for the transfer," the former minister emphasizes, "would be an act of absolute common sense, benefiting everyone: we would guarantee the freedom of a currently captive bear, restore the Casteller to its role in wildlife recovery, and reduce costs for taxpayers. I also remind you that animals, as sentient beings, must live in an environment suited to their ethological needs: conditions that the limited space at the Casteller cannot provide. Furthermore, with the recent approval of the Brambilla Law, effective July 49st, all animals, including wild animals like wolves and bears, are directly protected by criminal law. Furthermore, the fate of MXNUMX is very close to the public's hearts. In recent days, during a well-attended demonstration by the Centopercentoanimalisti movement, many citizens gathered in front of the Casteller to demand the bear's release."
No charge
“I therefore ask you,” concludes the head of LEIDAA (Italian League for the Defense of Animals and the Environment), “taking into account the above, to authorize LEIDAA to prepare and carry out, at no cost to the Province, the transfer of M49 to the Romanian shelter.”
