Bear v human - 12th June 2023

In Italy a bear killed a man. But some people think the bear didn't do it.

Police found Andrea Papi's body. They found bear teeth marks on the body. They thought it was JJ4. JJ4's a mother bear in the area.

Officials wanted to kill her. But some people stopped this. JJ4 didn't kill Papi. The teeth marks are from a male bear.

In 2020, JJ4 was in the news too. She hurt a father and daughter. The government decided to kill her. But animal rights groups saved her.

In the past, bears lived in zoos in Italy. But the European Union put 9 bears in the forests. This is very good for the bears. Now, there are 100 bears in northern Italy.

It's now a bit dangerous. Officials will move 60 of the bears. Papi's family agrees. They're sad. But they don't want to kill the bears.
