On the evening of April 5th, 2023, 26-year-old Andrea Papi was preparing to go out for one of his regular trail runs. Jogging along the mountain trails, surrounded by beautiful forests and fresh air was invigorating and peaceful. I could find no source affirming he had brought along bear spray, or a firearm and he was alone, with no companion or dog with him. After a few hours, Andrea had not returned and his family began to grow concerned as to his whereabouts.
Andrea’s family had a brief discussion and decided they needed to contact authorities to assist in the search for him. An extensive canvassing of his favorite trails was conducted in the dark of night. In the early morning hours of the next day, they discovered a terrifying and sad sight.
By 3 AM, Andrea’s body was found, mauled, and mutilated in an apparent bear attack. Investigators immediately cordoned off the attack site to preserve evidence and learn about the circumstances leading to his death.
Upon examining Andrea’s corpse, they observed severe wounds to his neck, head, and chest that each could have been fatal. The collection of DNA evidence in the form of bear saliva, hair, and other bodily fluids was pulled from his corpse and sent to a lab for analysis. His body was turned over to a coroner for further examination before being released to his family for burial.
In the weeks following the discovery of Andrea’s remains, a search was launched to locate the bear that had attacked him, a bear known as JJ4. Now, this bear was well known to local researchers, as she had been previously involved in another incident in 2020. She had attacked two hunters and had subsequently been targeted for culling due to her intolerant reaction to humans in her territory. Researchers had fit her with a tracking collar, but by August of 2019 the battery had died, rendering her whereabouts a mystery. The directives to kill her were blocked by a judge at the request of wildlife advocates. She was left alone for the time being, until this fateful meeting with Andrea Papi.
For the following two weeks, authorities searched for bear JJ4. They knew she had three cubs and would have to cover a broad range and territory to find food for them, so they used as many resources as needed. In her 17 years of life, she had learned how to avoid people and was putting that knowledge to good use, staying away from many of the places she had previously been seen and secreting herself and her cubs in the most remote stretches of forest.
As the search for Bear JJ4 continued, the human turmoil around what to do with her and her cubs continued to grow. Andrea’s family had publicly announced that they did not support the culling of the bear, even though she was identified as the bear that had taken his life. Eventually they went as far as filing a lawsuit against the government, claiming that it had failed to notify residents of the location of problem bears.
Wildlife advocates chimed in, contributing that the DNA evidence present at the attack scene did not prove bear JJ4 had killed Andrea, but merely that she had been in the area. They also claimed that forensic bite evidence showed that a male bear had killed the young man, given the distance between the wounds inflicted by the canines were larger and farther apart than a female bear's canines.
On April 17th, 2023, Bear JJ4 was caught in a culvert trap baited with fruit in Brenta National Park. Her cubs were deemed capable of surviving on their own, given they were two years old, and released unharmed.
Although local officials ordered her extermination, an appeal through the courts by wildlife advocates put it on hold. Their plea cited a 1979 treaty that prohibits the unnecessary killing of wildlife, calling into question what is a necessary killing. The government hadn’t worked out these details prior to introducing the brown bears. They had no idea what to do after the bears reached their goal population of 40 to 60 bears, how to track them, or how to alert the public of the bear’s whereabouts. They relied on the ideal of restoring brown bear populations without a proper structure of management and the protection of bear and human populations.

If grizzly bears were reintroduced here in Maryland in the areas where I like to go hiking, yes it would definitely influence my behavior. I honestly would never go hiking again.
Baltimorean here! We got black bears up west minister i dont think grizzlys were ever in maryland
I understand and mental health will go down the drain as humans need nature.
You should be more concerned about ticks and the diseases they carry than bears.
@@newtonmoonAh, yes. This is some key information that a lot of people don't understand.
There is a reason the European brown bear was more or less gone from Europe. It was hunted out. They raided honey operations, flocks and herds, they did what bears do. Now the numbers of the re-introduced bears have climbed, and there will be no room for the bear.
But whoever came up with the suggestion to reintroduce them got a raise and a promotion, I am sure.
Ecosystems thrive the most with a healthy population of natural predators.
We are the only species in the history of earth who can vaporize entire cities, i think we can handle a bear re-introduction program
Great idea reintroducing bears in areas where there are people, what could possibly go wrong? SMH.....
Seems very irresponsible to have a brown bear reintroduction program without a future management plan. Compared to Alaska these bears have a much higher population density to deal with and thus increase the chance of negative human interaction.
This is the same area of that viral video showing the 11 year old boy slowly walking down hill and away from a huge grizzly. Makes your skin craw!
hate attracts hate!! LOVE BEARS!!!❤❤ 🐯🐯🫀🦶🫁🦵🦴🧠🐯🐯❤❤
@@JohnnyDanger36963That wasn't hateful, just discussing a scary position someone was in! You should go camping in that area since you love bears so much. I'd recommend several cans of bear spray & a 10mm with hot loads 😉🐻
@@whitneystanek5081 you have bear murder in your heart. REPORTED TO OCEAN ( ramsey) Bear division north america.
Oh how brave and righteous of the family to sue the government for killing a dangerous animal. People need to wake up to reality of life and what it means to others. Get over yourselves
Another plan that seemed like a good idea at the time. "Lets multiply the bear population. It'll be nice"...
First deadly black bear attack on human in California documented in Sierra County. The attack was in November 2023, but it took time for investigators to get to the bottom of exactly what happened. I copy pasted that but its a good lead on a good story for you Addicus.
oh bull..there's been other black bear attacks in California before 2023.
Can you imagine having only 100 bears in Alaska or anywhere in the US.
Europe is much more densely settled.
@brera2434 Certain parts absolutely, but plenty of places in Europe have large forests. I'm not familiar with this particular part of Italy but maybe this wasn't the right place to reintroduce bears. It's a hot topic in the U.S. because of the wolf reintroduction, and now they are doing the same with grizzlies in California.
@@johnkeith6375 I'm a German natives. This is Northern Italy, Alpine region, so not too densely settled, but still way more than much of the US. Vast empty plains are more a feature of Eastern Europe. And maybe it was wrong to introduce bears there, or maybe the mistake just was not to have a plan what to do once the number they had aimed at was reached. Wolves are coming back on their own over the Polish border and via the Northeast of Germany now - that's also causing an uproar.
Ah yes, the infamous JJ brown bear dynasty. Bruno caused quite the stir in Germany, I remember it well. And of course he was without bear spray and a firearm - firearms are way more resteicted in Europe, hunting, too, and bear spray...i am not even sure he would have known that this existed or was necessary. The situation in Europe is very different from the one in the US.
'the government hadn't worked out these details before reintroducing brown bears'
so typical
One thing to remember is that in the bear world, aggression is an advantage.
I would NEVER run in the woods where bears and cougars reside.
You either 1) look like prey running away or 2) surprise the animal running up on it too fast.
GOOD LUCK!!!
Heya ,Scary, I've had a rather trying day today ( challenging on so many levels ...)
Then , upon retiring for the night , I cleared my Notifications and found your latest.
Just what I needed. Man, I didn't have as bad a day as I could have. Thank you for your contribution to life skills. ( Especially in Bear Country)
Cheers 'n Regards.
That's the Dolomites off the list of ski trips 😮 Thank you Addicus, I love your detail rich descriptions, I can almost see the subject in my mind. Great story telling ❤
Hey SBA family 😊👋
Italian government needs to get their act together. Bear maintenance requires work. Public needs notification on how to deal with bears daily.
Is this normally a safe jogging place? Seems like there would be bear awareness posted in bear country. RIP.
I’m from Iowa and cougars have brought in, of course we were told they migrated in, sence they have radio collars on I think they migrated in, in trucks and dropped off. And being parents of two small child. When tracks were for about a mile away it changed everything after that the kids weren’t to go out at all after dark. And we tried to pay close attention during the day. It upset me very much I sometimes wish we’d just stay out of it.
Heya @ User, I had a close-call with a Cougar this week but, when she dropped her Car-Keys, I took off
.....! It's a jungle out here, eh?
That is ridiculous. There is no reason to truck cougars into your area. There is no cougar reintroduction plan in Iowa. However it has been well documented for 20 yrs that cougars are migrating west to east to repopulate their former habitats. Most are young males and most keep moving as they avoid people and there is little game around towns. The cougar that was in your area is probably long gone already
If they stocked brown around here they probably would be plenty of people running into them. But most would probably have bear spray n some armed, me i will have both. The black bear population is getting thick around here. To the point they have closed many shelters on the A.T. ..and sections of the trail as well. Just to many bears near too many peoplel
In Europe it's uncommon to carry bear spray or firearms.
Me the only Bears we have here are CHGO BEARS and they only come out for 4 months but if i lived in BEAR COUNTY I would make OUTLAW JOSEY WALES LOOK EMBARRASSED for Firepower
Wow, they exceeded their goal of 40-60 bears in just 25 years. Seems like there was a lot unaccounted for in their plan. Sounds human enough.
In Arizona and New Mexico, we have wolf "reintroductions" and the populations keep growing.
In Trentino There were only three autochthonous Bears left in 1998. A restocking of the bear population was decided. At the same time a Information campagne for the public was performed. Most of the Society in the area agreed to this. Long time there was no poaching. The recent development maybe could have been avoided by reducing a number of problematic Bears in Order to save the shy bears.
Reintroducing bears anywhere in the alps is ridiculous, there are far too many tourist areas and bears will roam, funnily enough. I would also venture to suggest that has been no information imperative about how to coexist with bears or what defensive measures you can take. I know this to be true because I live in Europe, am interested in bears and have heard nothing. Ill-conceived and not thought out. The only ones to suffer will be victims and bears, that's about as crazy as it gets.
In Italy we are not allowed to carry bear spray neither fire arms☹️. RIP Andrea
Say dear, do you feel like italian food tonight?
Bears only do as bears do. People’s attitudes and habits must change to stay safe in bear country
Bears don’t even know they are bears lol as proved by the video of the bear stumbling into a mirror in the woods and it’s like oh my god, a bear! And totally freaks out until it smashes the mirror on the ground and the bear vanishes for all it knows. Recently i was sleeping on couch with a dim light on and suddenly my cat wakes me up scratching and hissing at the window. I got up and looked out and saw nothing but his own reflection in the window so I made sure he could see my face and arms and hands and said “Tom, it’s you! That’s you!” and at first he was like saying “no there is a terrifying cat out there!” but then he calmed down and looked at my reflection then at me and then at my hands reflection and then pt his paw on my hands and looked back and forth a few times and then looked straight at his own reflection like hm, I look cool! 🤣
should introduce grizzly bears to many cities in the USA
How about DC for starters?
This is an interesting, if not horrible scenario. It is, unfortunately the epitome of the EU though. They come up with many (on paper) brilliant and worthwhile causes, but lack the finesse to see it through to a satisfactory finale. A planned re-introduction programme of 60 bears, culminates in 100 bears, is deemed as a success, but in actuality, it is nearly double the projected outcome expected and forecast. Instead of taking relevant action, they celebrate. The issue here, is us Europeans (generally, but maybe not Scandinavians nor Romanians) are conditioned to believe all is safe when we go out and about. Excluding Russia, Europe has a population of around 600 million, almost twice that of the US (the reason Russia is excluded is due to the majority of their country being in Asia). The lower 48 of the US is approximately the same size as Europe, but when Alaska is added, it is a third larger (9 million sq km, to Europes 6 million). The population of Brown bears in the US is around 32500, whereas Europe (again, excluding Russias estimated 100,000), is 17500, almost half. So, nearly twice the human population on a land mass a third smaller, will, inevitably invite encroachment on wildlife. Add political incompetence, lack of knowledge from the general population, and an out of control re-introduction programme of an apex predator within walking distance from population centres and you have a recipe for disaster. I’m afraid that if this continues, then we will hear of more bear attacks in Europe which, knowing the EU, will kick start a “culling” programme to remedy the issue they created. Meanwhile, a family in Italy are mourning the loss of a young man.
Speaking from the tongue of an experienced resident alien in the United States of Grizzlybearica I can tell you we all leave the house fully expecting to be robbed and probably shot intentionally or by stray bullets in gang warfare or at the very least get begged for “a dollah” from young men with expensive sneakers and soft clean hands and designer hairdos and wild animals are the least of anybody’s concerns in any major city especially because we are so on edge that we know any wild animal with a brain will not dare mess with us. It’s not that everybody is armed, that’s mostly a myth, only gangstas and wannabe cop republicans carry guns in day to day life out and about and the rest of us rely purely on the knowledge that in any dangerous situation we will summon the power of the gods to defeat any crack or meth head with politeness and by looking poorer than them. Personally I ride my bicycle through many a rough hood on a daily basis in the south and get along with everybody but only because I myself look crazier than them since I also partake in the drugs and eat nothing but the bare minimum ti survive in protein shakes and peanut butter so my body is efficient and wiry strong and fit and I have superhuman endurance in the overbearing sweltering humidity and heat and feel no cold in winter as I have learnt the method of turning off my thoughts while cycling and merely maintaining situational awareness ready for any trouble that tries to come my way. A bear would most likely run from me as I am a natural born psychopath and feel no fear at all around other living beings due to the certain knowledge that I am crazier still and anything done to me I will repay in revenge a thousand times worse such that all who encounter me must know this on some level hence never mess with me. I reckon I could locate and stalk a grizzly bear momma with her cubs and pick them up and tickle them and the momma would be afraid to even chuff at me. But by the end of the day I would befriend her too and likely be picking ticks off her as she dines on some other human she kills after I have lured them to her mwahahahaha.
Japaneese bears, Russian bears, Canadian bears, American bears, now Italian bears?
They are all from Africa
I'm very confused, JJ4 was in the area but not the killer of this man (determined by bite-size) correct? She shouldn't have been pursued, then. Sows defending their cubs are usually given a pass (if non predatory.) Boars should've been caught & the correct 1 euthanized. The answer to this is very simple, hunting needs to begin & continue until the population is under control. Allowing an area to double it's capacity of predators is disaster waiting to happen! Bears have no reason to fear us & are seeing people more often as natural resources become strained. Sadly it's the natural order of how things are going.
He was jogging in Bear country so he should of known better ! It's not the bears fault a bear is going to be a bear and if the human being thinking they can do as they please in wildlife then that's the chances they take! It is what it is!
Please go back to the beginning of the episode and then LISTEN carefully. It's better
Assuming all bears identify as bears is very outdated.
I enjoyed this episode very beary 🐻 much Addicus!!! I'm gonna have to get so much needed sleep I haven't been sleeping well since I got back from trip I noticed the other night my lock was turned on my door + I know for a fact I locked it I promised Dawn to always triple check things are locked scary!! Will touch base with you later 🐊 I'm back!! So heartbreaking 😭💔 and tragic for Andre Poppy Also breaks my heart the mama 🐻 got killed I 🙏💖 the precious cubs are safe You sound so much better Addicus thanks for another outstanding story and storytelling Take care and good night 🌉😴🌟🌛🌜
There is obviously a grizzly bear in your house right now
@@BillDo-gd5me HAHAHA
Aregano .
The bear and her cubs didn't eat the man. Bears aren't looking to be our friends. As stupid as people can be toward wildlife, I'm not surprised they can be aggressive toward us. Reintroducing wildlife like this is STUPID. There's a reason nature took them away from an area, leave it that way.
“Nature” didn’t take them away, humans did. We’re not talking about dinosaurs here.
@@southfloridanick We are a part of nature. We aren't a television.
You really can’t say bears aren’t looking to be our friends, that’s like sayig that African Americans aren’t looking to be our friends. They are individuals with their own minds and thoughts, it may well be that some bears actually sit around thinking how cool it would be to be friends with a white guy
I guess he didn’t jog fast enough….
Usain Bolt couldn't out run a bear.
To me this is one of the stories that make me so angry. A human was basically sacrificed bc some judge had caved in to enviromentalists.
Extremely poor planning. Reintroducing bears with no forethought. Just like reintroducing wolves. They inevitably act like bears and wolves and then are killed. I question the mentality of those people that “set up” wildlife for killing.

60 seconds!!! Let's gooooooo Rooooarrrrrrrrr!!!!!!🐻
Bring grizzly bears back to Arizona! The animals were here before humans. We have too many damn people.

@@Super-ew1ty Oh ok thanks!!! Me and my friend were trying to figure it out!! My phone is so confusing my nephew said!! 😂😅😅
I gotta promotion so now i cant catch the livestream. 😕
The bear in this video is a grizzly bear not a brown bear. A brown bear and a black bear do not have a hump on their shoulders . The brown or black bear have a longer snout.
Let's not get that specific. Here in Alaska we have Polar, Brown and Black bears. Polar bears are shot on sight. Browns and blacks are shot if they charge. Thats all you need to know bout bears
Ummmmm, grizzlies are a subspecies of brown bears & do have a hump.
