Italy Captures Killer Bear Involved in Fatal Jogger Attack
TL;DR Summary
A bear that killed a jogger in the Italian Alps has been captured and taken to a wildlife centre. The 17-year-old she-bear, known as JJ4, had been ordered to be shot on sight but was caught in a bear trap filled with fruit. JJ4's fate is yet to be decided, pending a court hearing next month. The bear had already attacked and injured a father and son in 2020. Italy's bear population has been increasing in recent years after they were reintroduced to the region two decades ago, causing concern among locals and mayors in the Brenta Dolomites region.
