“We live the mountain at 360 degrees, – adds Misseroni to The Corriere della Sera, – but in full respect. We certainly want to manage bears as cleanly as possible, but the problem must necessarily be addressed, because, unfortunately, in our area, the bear population is saturated, compared to our territory: the plantigrades are moving more and more in the country , frequent sightings are repeated near houses, something must be done “.
“Unfortunately it is not my responsibility to say how to manage them, – he underlines – if moving bears to other Alpine regions or castrating them, so at least the number does not increase or more. But sooner or later, if you don’t do something, you will run away the dead, because the bears are also stressed by the increasing presence of man in the mountains. Here Monte Peller is an area frequented daily by many tourists and mushroom lovers of the mountain “.
“Do we have to find intelligent solutions, or do we no longer have the right to go for a walk in the mountains?” He asks.
And finally, his version of the facts: “I was 200 meters from the main road at 17, dressed in bright colors, jeans and yellow boots, without a camera, nothing that incentivized an attack. A small path passed underneath me, we took it and the bear attacked us. I heard that we would have done something wrong or scared the animal. Nothing could be more wrong. We had left the path for about ten minutes. I was in front. And suddenly I saw the bear came on me, gritting his teeth. He came out of the undergrowth like a rocket, like a fury. And yet, we were just walking “.
“I am now terrified at the thought of going to the mountains for a walk, this is not permissible,” he concludes.
