A bear who killed a jogger last week in Italy has been given a stay of execution – even though the animal had previously mauled people. The battery in that device died a few days before the attack on Papi. It said seven people had been attacked by bears in Italy in the past 20 years; Papi was the first to be killed. JJ4 was born in the region to a pair imported from Slovenia around 2000 as part of Life Ursus. JJ4 is the sister of JJ1, a “problem bear” known as Bruno who attacked farm animals in Bavaria.
