Captured bear M49, the protagonist of two escapes in a year from the Casteller compound, the last at the end of July. This was announced by the Trentino Forest Corps, indicating that the operation was completed in the Lagorai area, where the animal was found in the last period, by means of a tube trap already used in the past for the same specimen.
“Sedated, neutered and captured again with tube trap: no more furor against M49. We ask that the procedure foreseen by the interregional action plan for the conservation of the brown bear in the central-eastern Alps (Pacobace) be applied, or The bear is once again provided with a radio collar, released, which allows it, in a short time, to go into hibernation. ” Massimo Vitturi, head of Wild Animals Lav, says so.
“It is an extreme act of ignoble persecution of the animal, a symbol of biodiversity, freedom and nature. A bear that has never been guilty of any act of aggression towards human beings but has become, despite itself, an element of the political game. . We will also address the European Union but we ask immediately for a very forceful and immediate intervention by the Minister of the Environment Costa ”, this is the comment of the National Animal Protection Authority (Enpa).
“We hope that the M49 bear will be released, but if the Autonomous Province of Trento persists in its myopic policy, we strongly request that the captivity of the M49 be carried out in a large and adequate structure that respects the psycho-physical well-being of the” animal. A structure certainly different from that of Casteller, which, on the other hand, has shown its obvious and serious structural insufficiency. “This is the WWF comment that also asks” to form part of a control working group, which will be set up as a matter of urgency. , that verifies the suitability of the structures and the fulfillment of the care conditions of the internal bears “.
“The capture makes those who live in the mountain breathe relieved and feel defenseless against the dangers of a specimen whose aggression has been scientifically proven, responsible for only 30% of the damage caused by bears in Trentino.” Coldiretti affirms it.
