The introduction of large wild animals like wolf and bear, financed by EU programs and executed by environmental activists now has led to a dangerous and destructive interaction with humans. Environmental activists did not maintain the large wild animal population and use the let the nature maintain the wild life policy. Now the animal populations have grown to such extend that they are commanly seen interacting with people and peoples animals. The politics and the activists now want the people out of the forest, the living area of the wolf and bear. How crazy does it get? The people need te forest to take a break and to relax.
But this does not solve the problem, because the large wild animal populations will grow. The hobby of the environmental activists created a large zoo. This should be turned to maintaining the large wild animals in a conventional way. All animals should be electronically monitored. Large wild animals frequlantly have more than one siblings, this should be deministed to one. If there is no large enough forest available, then the large wild animals should be placed in wolf and bear parks, in which they are fed and maintained.
Several wolf bite incidents have occurred in Europe in recent years, including in the Netherlands, including one involving a jogger and a child in De Hoge Veluwe National Park. Italian ecologist Valeria Salvatori studied nineteen wolves that came too close to people in various European countries between 2012 and 2022. Italian zoology professor Luigi Boitani says that 21 incidents have occurred in Italy in recent years, some of which resulted in bites.
In the Trentino region of Italy, the bear population has seen an increase in recent years, leading to more frequent human-bear encounters and, consequently, a rise in reported casualties. These casualties include both human injuries and fatalities from bear attacks, as well as the deaths of bears, some due to human actions like culling or accidents.
Anrea Papi (26) is the person known to have been killed by a wild bear in Italy in modern times. But his death in April 2024 marked a watershed moment in a fierce debate over brown bears, imported into western Trentino from Slovenia as part of a rewilding project 25 years ago, that has pitted politicians against animal activists. Brown bears, introduced into Trentino province 20 years ago, have begun to clash with the local human population.
