From Trentino the Orsi question returns: the news is of these hours A young specimen would have been sighted in Lagoloa fraction of the municipality of Madruzzo, because it is attracted by waste left on the street.
Here we are, therefore, in the face of a problem now known for years: good management of waste in the city would be the first step to prevent behaviors considered “confident” of the bears, which – rather – should not recognize urban spaces as a source of food. And instead we are the usual.
Anti-Orso bins (which, among other things, will be installed only in a few years) and information campaigns aimed at citizenship are not only suggestions, but should be fundamental duties of the authorities, simple and non-bloody tools to protect people’s safety and life of animals.
Yet, the autonomous province of Trento continues to ignore scientific recommendations and institutional references – they say from Lav – preferring to food a dangerous climate of fear that, in the name of safety, translates into unmotivated and cruel killing.
In short, a way of saying that if you really aim for public safety, this should not be sought with the rifle, but with the prevention, education and application of scientific strategies, which among other things have already been adopted with success in other areas of Europe.
In fact, animalists accuse that The inertia of the Trentino Administration in preventing bears access to human food sources Life has already cost several animals, including M90 and M91 killed precisely because of the loss of diffidence towards people, gained by feeding from garbage cans.
In addition to the failure to provide tools for the storage of bear proof waste and a communication strategy aimed at informing citizens who, evidently, have no awareness of the fact that their food leftovers are the first cause of behavior responsible for ‘ Confendente ‘of the bears.
The demolition of bears remains a defeat of politics, science and ethics. Bears are not the problem: it is the negligence of those who should manage the territory with foresight and respect for all lives.
