As the sow rapidly approached him, she latched her powerful jaws onto his leg and lifted him up a few inches. This caused him to fall straight to his back. She wasted no time in releasing her grip on his leg and moved her saliva covered yellow teeth straight toward his face.
Now plumbers aren’t exactly known for their reaction time, as it isn’t important in their profession, but Angelo must have had quick reflexes. He crossed his arm over his face just before the bear could clamp her jaws on his head. Her canines tore through his elbow like a knife through butter and she ripped chunks of his arm away as she tossed her head.
Now fully aware that this bear was intent on killing him, Angelo knew the action he took next might be his saving grace or his final grace. As the sow pulled his elbow away from his face, she immediately directed her jaws to his throat. But, Angelo somehow beat her to the point of attack once again. He moved his arm across his throat, blocking her from tearing at the vital blood vessels and bones there.
That is when Kira decided to intervene, in her canine way. Call it instinct or perhaps it was her love for her owner, Kira began darting and dancing in and out, barking at the bear, in a clear attempt to distract it. According to AKC guidelines Bernese Mountain dogs can stand 27 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh in around 100 pounds which can make them a physically imposing canine.
As Kira barked, growled and harassed the brown bear, the sow bit and tore at Angelo’s arms and legs. Once the bear got her fill of Kira, she decided she would handle the nuisance Kira presented before the one Angelo presented. She chased toward the dog, giving Angelo just enough time to roll over a small cliff adjacent to the trail.
During the confusion that Kira presented to the sow, she lost track of just where Angelo had gone to. She wandered off in search of her cubs leaving the man bitten, gashed and bleeding in the bushes.
After being certain the sow had left him, Angelo made his way back down the steep hillside. He was treated at a nearby hospital for the severe bites to his arms and legs. With chunks of flesh torn from his arms during the attack, some nerve damage had occurred. Surgeons completed operations to help retain or regain use of his fingers. Angelo tried to get some rest following the attack but would wake up with terrors, claiming the bear was in front of him.
As is most often the case following a bear attack, an investigation into the incident was initiated. Familiarity with the bears in the area led wildlife officers to believe it was a mean old sow known as Bear KJ2. She was suspected in an attack on a man in 2015, which will be featured on a future episode, so she was assembling a bit of a rap sheet with authorities.
Investigators pulled hair and DNA evidence from Angelo’s jacket for comparison to evidence gathered from bears caught in culvert traps deployed around the attack site. They stated that they would put tracking collars on all bears they managed to trap until the analysis of the DNA evidence was completed, then they would track down the responsible bear and place it in a sanctuary or put it down.
But, they had tried this ploy on Bear KJ2 before. In 2015 she was trapped and a radio collar affixed to her neck after her attack on the jogger. She didn’t take too kindly to the high tech jewelry and somehow managed to pull it off from her neck. She had been on the lamb, so to speak ever since.
The provincial President, Ugo Rossi, issued a public statement regarding the spate of attacks in Trento. He stated that there were too many bears in the province and quickly signed orders to have KJ2 killed before she could injure or kill anyone else. And government trackers had completed their orders by Sunday, July 23rd, having tracked and killed Bear KJ2.
Italian Animal Rights group La Lav decried the killing of the bear on the altar of politics. Wildlife advocate groups organized a boycott of the resorts and products from Trento in an attempt to change how the province handled problem brown bears.
Tourists from Great Britain, France and Russia canceled their resort reservations as a gesture of support to the wildlife advocate groups.

Bears do not need to be reintroduced into areas with high human populations whether they were previously native there or not. That's just asking for a lot of future problems. The Italians obviously didn't think it through.
It’s gut wrenching when you hear of a bear mauling or killing a innocent person, but you never hear about people up in arms or protesting about it . This not the case when a bear is killed because they are a danger to communities. Human beings should come first before any animal. No, to relocating these brown bears back into regions they used to roam freely. Just like anything else areas have changed, and those changes mean people have moved in.
Finally someone in the comments with some sense! I'm sick of people here telling others to abandon their homes because "they're in bear territory", which is a huge portion of America and Canada.
One has to question the wisdom of inserting dangerous wild animals into populated areas. It's easy for outside advocates to dictate how local people will live their lives and what dangers they must face, and then go happily on their way when the deed is completed. Those who live and work in the area have to deal with the consequences.
I'll let this one go because I have little sympathy for bears who attack unarmed people who aren't trying to kill them.
Why the hell would you reintroduce bears around people?
Only recently have we not lived near them.
Protecting people takes infinite precedence over the so called "cruelty" of dispatching bears that maul/kill humans.
You bring up the dog and then you don't tell us what happened to it Duhhh...
I was wondering the same thing. What happened to the dog.
I just found a picture of Kira after the attack, seemed fine!
Time to sue the parks system for negligence in controlling their protected monsters. It does not matter what was in the bears mind
What the fuck? Whats the point in introducing extinct apex predators?
That bear knew exactly where he was because her sense of smell is off the charts. She left because she no longer saw him as a threat to her cub/s. It's likely that she realized that the dog was a bigger threat to her cub and that's why she left him and went after it. The Italian government should be providing and educating people about bear spray and encouraging people to carry it when they are in bear territory.
Bear spray doesn't always work some bears love there food peppered
@@thomasjcorson7502 That's not common according to what the studies say and it has been studied. Bear spray is the most effective way to avoid or survive an attack. Wind is a factor, yes, but no bears enjoy a direct hit from bear spray. Nothing is 100% but bear spray definitely works more often than a gun does. People who live or work in high bear risk areas usually carry both if they're smart. It even works for Polar Bears.
@@roximamaguns work much,much more than bear spray.
@@JohnnyDanger36963 You might want to research that. Studies show that bear spray is actually more effective than guns are with bears. Unless you're in high winds where you should definitely carry a gun or know you're going to be hitting that bear in the face with the spray as it attacks you. Bears are almost impossible to kill straight on with a bullet anyway, unless you're lucky enough to hit it in the eye at just the right angle. A shot to the heart could allow that bear 6 seconds to maul you before it drops and that has happened. But again, I encourage you to research it because it's pretty cool. There's some good info on it here on youtube. Some are similar to mythbusters with models of bear skulls, precision shooting and what not. Some are study based relying on studies by the NPS and others on actual bear attacks.
@@roximama NO trained alaskan,siberian,African,Asian bear hunter or outfitter( look it up..) depends on " bear spray". they use GUNS. you believe a lie.
Was there any word of the dog?
This is a very difficult problem we are going to have to address sooner or later.
Im assuming the dog survived?? The bear was protecting her cubs, just like we would do for our children.
9:05 to answer these questions. Orcas don’t attack humans. Humans don’t hunt orcas or defend against them either. Does a bear possess the brain capacity to know that they could have the same relationship? No. Would they need to evolve in order to do so? Yes? Would it benefit their existence? Yes. Draw conclusions.
As a plumber/gas fitter by trade im offended by your comment about reaction time 😅 then again im in shape
Thanks Addicus awesome cover of this attack! That bear chomping at the camera when you were telling that story scared me and had me on the edge of my seat. If I saw that close up and was attacked or one of my loved ones I KNOW which side of the fence I would be on! So when it’s not personal you can take a wider view. But I still believe a human life over an animals life, every time! If this bear was involved in multiple attacks and was aggressive then it definitely should be removed and sometimes it’s the states and county government are the ones making these decisions and whether or not they have the funds to relocate animals that usually come back anyway. To me in these areas where there are lots of bears they definitely have to have planned ways of handling these situations and be set on that path! No exceptions! Or no one’s going to be happy. And by the way you’ll never please everyone!
Bears do what bears do. If mom feels she and her cubs are threatened she will stop at nothing to protect her family and she don't care if you are human, animal or alien you're all a threat to her.
Nature hikes are great but know what's out there lurking in nature!
Old Angelo looks like a guy who's ordered a hit or two....
That expression is so strange
@@pollypockets508 You sport a very Sopranos sounding name yourself, dear --- think Sonny Corleone in The Godfather...The bear never stood a chance.
Washingtonion here :) All for conservation. I think it has to be safe for both parties. We know it can lead to bad habits for bears that create more frequent human encounters. Not sure what the answer is:(
A young, healthy man can't outrun a bear!! 🐻
I say no to reintroducing these bears to places they once inhabited
I agree. Nature has it's reasons for what it does. And intelligent fish and game officials will fight for wildlife also.
Maybe you should stay out of bear country.
Professionals who haze bears and teach them to avoid people seem to do a great job curing most problem bears of their bad habits (i.e., behavior that puts them in conflict with people.) Noisemakers and other nonlethal means can only be tried if someone is trained to use them. Does somebody run a "Bear Hazing School"?
I have told people that nature lovers don't care how many people die as long as the bears live and most the time they will win out if animals leave a area it's a reason sometimes you should not bring them back
The so-called "nature lovers" are nothing more than urbanites whose heads are firmly planted outside of reality. Your average working farm folks live with animals, domestic & wild, 24/7 and same with farmer's #1 concern...weather/climate. They watch the weather and track it far better than the NWS.
When your life and livelihood rest on your knowledge of those 2 topics, a shipload of PhD, Master or BS degrees are only good for starting fires. You don't see farmers descending upon Baltimore, NYC, Chicago or most of CA telling them how to run a city.
Although from the visible evidence of history, recent and past, its plain they don't know how to run a city either.
Stay out of bear country. Stupid people like to live in the woods but don't want to live with what is in the woods.
If they killed the mother what happened to the cubs?
What happened to Kira?
Hmmm Bear aggression....Is it a NATO Russian conflict again?
Anyone ever get addicus? to respond gladly respond to your comment? Just wish he'd stop saying that...
Hiked in the Italian Alps in 2018 and never saw a bear.
I think people need to stop taking all the land and leave it wild
Then humans need to stop procreating so much.
Bears really hate my 357 magnum pistol
Hahaha
Good luck with that. They not only have thick skulls but the skull is shaped in a way that bullets won't penetrate it from a head on angle. You could hope to hit the eye but that's not easy on a moving target. Of course you could aim for the heart but even a direct hit won't stop a bear immediately. They are known to keep attacking for up to 6 seconds after being shot in the heart and a bear can inflict major damage in that amount of time. Bear spray is proven to be MUCH more efficient unless there are high winds.
They laugh at you.
@@jeannemarcinek4575 Try bear spray
@@roximama 🤣🤣🤣🤣so just give up and let them eat you?
Gotta love those animal rights people whose only animal encounters are Disney movies. No to reintroduction. There are the strongholds that prevent extinction. People that have lived within bear habitat are a bit more savvy at going into their environment than I would be. We have bears in Missouri but not like massive grizzlies. My Pyrenees is pretty massive himself and loves walking the woods.
What do you have just black bears???
So I have to have an encounter with an animal in order to have feelings on their rights?
@@jennifertonyan9984 black bears cougars coyotes and copperheads.
Most people who has been attacked by bears do NOT want the bear killed as most attacks is when you surprise a bear and the many human mistakes we keep doing! Bears are a must to our eco systems, not my words, scientists who work around all animals will tell you that! We can’t keep killing the animals who has less and less space, to hunt, to breed and to be the fantastic animals they are! We camp in bear country ( of course carry bear spray ) and we are aware of the risk we take. Don’t assume that I don’t know what I’m talking about, because I’m quoting facts, not my opinion ! The bear always loose, they pay with their life each time there is an “ unhappy encounter” with a human !
There are so many reasons to keep these majestic animals around, and I hope that’s going to be the case in the end. I’m not a fan of reintroduction as most times the predators they reintroduce,will be eliminated because humans won’t give up lands to the animals that needs it…most times it doesn’t end well. The bears, the wolves, the cougars etc etc are all dangerous but to completly eliminate them? That will affect so many other species. There is no golden answer,but we humans do need to back off,and let nature be, in the areas they live. Has a stronghold as they said here, it would be so perfect if we could share territories like the native Americans did,but that’s likely never going to happen 😢
@@hellekimery9537 who said anything about eliminating them?
People who know nothing about wildlife needs and dispositions are quick to love the idea of the reintroduction of species…any species. It makes them feel virtuous. What it makes them look like is ignorant. Keep the brown and black bears in nationally protected spaces which can then be monitored for proper balance. We have a bear population problem now in parts of the US which needs to be addressed. But probably won’t be any time soon.
What about Kira ? :/ The number of bears is growing and puts the populations at risk which is unacceptable . A mama bear (sow ?) proctes her children , that is right but authorities have to protect the population .
Souds like Addicus has a touch of allergies these days! He sounded 'sinusy'
I make my girlfriend watch this before bed. Trump will keep us safe unless a bear gets in the tent while camping.
Why does the EU bring back bears into areas close to populations, then not teach people about bear spray? Bears aren't pets that can be domesticated. If a bear has cubs they will aggressively protect them. That is what bears do. If the people can't handle that in close proximity, then stop reintroducing them into areas they were phased out. This was all so unnecessary in the first place smh
It is cruel to animals to reintroduce apex predators into an area (where people had previously hunted them until they were no longer a threat), only to see their behavior didn't change (as they are still an apex predator), and will now need to be hunted until they are no longer a threat to this generation of people.
Maybe learn from the past. If you are all for "re-introducing" maybe first set aside land enclosed in such a way (I don't know of one & will leave that up to those who support this practice to find one) as to keep the apex predator in & humans out.
It could be that the area in Italy that couldn't live safely alongside a brown bear population in the past still can't. Could even be less probable since population has since increased.
So I guess the bear can't live in its own home territory. Not right. Ppl take the risk of going into the woods.
It was a very bad idea from the beginning to reintroduce Bears to Italy, as now there are way too many people & resorts to do such thing.
I met a Burmese Mountain dog not long ago and he was huge! He was lucky his dog was with him that day.
Leave them where they are and don't bring them where they aren't even if historically it is a place they used to be and thrive, you can't expect a wild animal that hasn't had many if any encounters with people to all of the sudden get rid of natural instincts and start tolerating people
She should have been caught and relocated
always a great story
Good video
Thats such a storybook looking place I just love it
Sounds like you have a bit of a summer cold.
Yes,yes,yes, that as well tje strongholds of bears.
Never mind. You answered it later in the video.
I didn't see a place to subscribe.
Heyyy 🐻🐻🐻🐻 thanks for the video❤
An old Italian proverb...."Near allow bitter middle aged women decide Grizzly reintroduction".
awww i missed it❤️
I'm not against reintruduction.
In fact like most hunters and trappers not only support it, but are the largest finacial donors who not only support efforts but provide crucial information that state and federal wildlife agentcies, don't have personnel, funding to support.
My state stopped bureaucrats stealing money from Fish and Wildlife.
Instead they teamed up with sportsmens groups, and private landowners to create an enviroment that allows all to exist, reintroctuction as well as a well managed wildlife program.
That includes hunting, trapping.
That not only funds these efforts, but trains predators that human/bear or predator contact are not to their benefit.
Too bad we can't teach tree huggers and left wing nuts the same.
I'm sure this is just great for a hunter but it's not just about you. These are places where a large number of people live. Students have to walk to school daily and no, they can't bring guns to school. Teens who can't drive yet shop and visit their friends. Just because you scare off some bears for a while doesn't mean they communicate that areas are off limits to all of the other bears. It also doesn't mean the ones scared further into the woods won't return. Try explaining to a city why keeping dangerous beasts around is a good idea after a group of 12 year olds get mauled on their way home from school.
@@k.elysium6819 I agree that reintroducing large predators near heavily populated areas is a bad idea.
Other issue I have is where I live bear, deer, coyote, as well as human populations are expanding and colliding.
Hunting is one of the most effective ways to control populations and train predators to avoid humans.
But sadly as human population moves in .
Often they are anti hunting.
Then as wildlife and human population expands, conflicts do as well.
Where hunting is not allowed.
More deer, moose, bear are killed by vehicles, causing millions in damages and injury or death.
Bear population is growing as well.
Sightings as well as incidents have been increasing as well.
As people move into wildlife habitat then ban hunting.
Then want taxpayers to hire a professional to solve the problem.
Which usually means a paid poacher. Because they can break all the laws that normal hunters have to abide by and pay for.
Bear hazing has been proven to be effective, but again costs money.
Yet still ends up with some being dispatched.
Again almost all in places where hunting is prohibited or heavily restricted.
Animals aren't stupid.
They know suburbs and the like are safe places. Free food too.
That was so heartbreaking 😭💔 the 🐻 was killed They didn't have to kill the 🐻 I'm so sad by that The poor cubs I pray there safe❤❤❤ Thanks so much Addicus for another very beary interesting story and storytelling Take care 💕 of yourself sounds liike your coming down with something Adventure bravely!!!❤
can I feed you to that sweet bear?
I've read and heard once a grizzly attacks a human they are more likely to do so again, because their fear of humans goes way down if not completely away.This bear had already attacked another person, and they moved her. They really had no choice; it would likely attack again. They wanted to avoid having another person killed. It's sad, but the bear really left them no choice.
Bears are not hard to live around. Nearly every attack is caused by the person.
NOPE!
Correct. Careless and uninformed humans are responsible for 99% of bear attacks.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I CRIED FOR THE SOW!!
why, it's a stupid animal with no soul, animals are just weeds with no roots
Bears, like ALL animals have rights. This bear should have been relocated and not senselessly euthanized. so sad.
Animals have no rights...read the Bible for what the Creator says.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣no they don't, they don't pay taxes.
Rooooarrrrrrrrr 🐻!!!!!!! I've been checking all day Addicus when you were coming on!! You snuck up on me you!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrr 🐻!!!!!! How ya been and how's it going with building your little house? Can I move in with you just kidding 😂🤣😂😹 Gonna watch episode again since I was surprised when you were coming on!! ❤ Catch ya later 🐊
I think the attack was a defensive attackin nature and not predatory. They should've been left alone. That's common sense to me. I don't believe that this guy had some premonition of a bear boaring down on him. I think he's telling his story like this because his dog was the real culprit. I truly believe that was exactly what happened in this case
SAVE THE BEARS!!❤🦁🐯🫁🫀🦴🧠🦶🧠🦵🫀🫁🐯🐯❤❤❤
rooaaarrrr!
