An administrative court in Italy's Alpine region has for now spared the life of the bear who authorities say fatally attacked Andrea Papi last month.
Animal rights activists say teeth marks on the victim show the aggressor was male — not the female bear captured last month.
An Alpine brown bear that disembowelled a jogger to death in the Italian Alps has been captured by the authorities.
The governor of a province in a mountainous region of the country’s north sought to euthanize the bear, known as JJ4, but a court is reviewing the matter.
Jj4 is the same Alpine brown bear that injured a father and son out walking in the region in 2020.
