Provincial ordinance
Today, Tuesday 6 February 2024, the M90 bear was killed in Trentino, to be precise in what is known as Val di Sole. The taking took place after the signing of the ordinance by of the Autonomous Province of Trento. The specimen was in fact deemed dangerous following an episode from a few days ago.
ISPRA's opinion
In fact, last January 28, the animal chased a group of hikers in the Mezzana area for about 500 meters. One can imagine the animalist and environmentalist reactions, but in this case even ISPRA (Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research) had asked for the immediate culling of the mammal.
The intervention of the Foresters
A team from the Forestry Corps proceeded with the removal, as expressly provided for by the aforementioned provincial decree which had received the green light from President Fugatti. The animal was identified by observing the radio collar and ear tags.
