Dear MEL Topic Readers,
A bear in Italy has been sentenced to death
after attacking hikers. Activists want a stay of execution
A death sentence to a bear? That is what the
governor of Trentino, an autonomous province in northern Italy, signed. The
bear, which is said to have attacked two men hiking on a trail in Mount Peller,
is still at large. But once a suspected bear is caught, its DNA will be tested
if it matches the remains and saliva of the bear that attacked the men.
Sounds like a manhunt of a human suspect,
doesn’t it?
However, while the local authority is trying
to capture, identify, and euthanize the suspected bear, activists demand a thorough
investigation of the incident to find if the bear was intimidated or threatened
by the victims.
Unfortunately, there were no witnesses of the
incident and the bear won’t be able to testify its side of the story. Will
there be fair treatment or justice in this case?
Enjoy reading the article and think about how the
bear should be treated.
