The opposition of the two attacked: “But the problem must be managed”
Paradoxically, one of the two attacked, Christian Misseroni, 28 years old, attacked by the bear while he was with his father Fabio (59), to express opposition. Asked by Courier service he declares: “Both my father and I are against abatement. We certainly want to manage the bear as clean as possible, but now it must necessarily be managed because unfortunately in our area the bear population is saturated with respect to our territory, they are moving more and more in the country, frequent sightings are repeated near the houses, something has to be done, unfortunately it is not for me to say how to manage them, whether to move or castrate them. But sooner or later the dead run away, because they too are stressed by the increasing presence of man in our mountains, here the Peller is an area frequented daily by many tourists, mushroom lovers of the mountain: so now we no longer have the right to go for a walk in the mountains? ». In the young man, the memory of the bad experience is still fresh: «I was 200 meters from the main road at 5 pm, dressed in bright colors, jeans and yellow boots, without a camera, nothing that would encourage an attack! A small path passed underneath me, so what did we have to do … I am now terrified at the thought of going to the mountains for a walk, this is not permissible! ” . The opposition to culling remains: «I absolutely don’t want to cull their bears, but they must be managed in a clean way respecting their lives … But doing something must be done, my father and I have been ruined our greatest passion because of this mismanagement, but unfortunately it is now a political issue, we cannot do much. Many animal rights activists are attacking me, accusing me of the future death of the bear …. All this destroys me, we cannot do anything ».

The actor’s tweet and the minister’s indignation
The front of those who ask for the bear to be spared is growing: yesterday on Twitter Alessandro Gassmann wrote: “We are about 60,000,000, the bears in Trentino about 80, we have invaded every space, plundered, cemented, deforested, spilled, burned, and now you’re killing one with offspring to claim it’s dangerous? Dangerous him ?! You are incapable and you must be ashamed ». Even the Minister of the Environment Sergio Costa expressed strong doubts about the elimination of the bear: “The killing of a bear is unacceptable, all the more so at this stage when the precise contours of the story are still unknown”, he said the minister. Explaining: “If it were a female who wanted to protect the children, the scenario would be different and the conditions for public security could fall”. ».

The defense of the League
But there are also those who defend Fugatti’s order and criticize the minister for his “interference” in Trentino’s environmental policy. “Minister Costa’s statements against President Fugatti’s work on the” dangerous bear “situation (they leave us surprised, given the clarity of the legislation in force which assigns competences in the field of public safety to the presidents of the Regions and autonomous Provinces”. The deputies of the Lega del Trentino, Martina Loss, Diego Binelli, Vanessa Cattoi and Mauro Sutto declared it. “The management of the brown bear for the territories of the central-eastern Alps is entrusted to the Interregional Action Plan for the conservation of the brown bear in the central-eastern Alps, drawn up with the Ministry of the Environment and Ispra. The significant demographic increase in the bear population in the central-eastern Alps in recent years has led to an increase in problem situations and also in frequency of close encounters between man and bear. This made it necessary to manage more quickly and effectively those so-called “problematic” individuals. ” number of specimens present in the small territory of western Trentino and the responsibility of President Fugatti for the safety of their communities led to the simple application of what was established by the ministry for these cases – continues the position taken by the parliamentarians – The choice to intervene after in-depth checks and investigations in the area start from the defense of the people who, at the cost of great sacrifices, maintain the presence and economy of the mountain territories ». “Coast that has been in Trentino, but has not been able to see the bear in person, perhaps it does not realize the effects that this animal can cause live on people and mountain activities, including the precious pastoralism, recognized as an intangible heritage of the “Unesco, of which the minister himself has made himself the spokesman”, conclude the Northern League deputies.
