A female bear that was sentenced to death for the fatal mauling of jogger in Italy has been given a stay of execution until May 11, officials in Trento have said.

Andrea Papi, 26, was attacked and killed last week while jogging in a public nature reserve in the Trentino–Alto Adige region of northern Italy. An ordinance signed by the tribunal of Trento was in response to a complaint filed by several wildlife protection agencies who petitioned the court to protect the 17-year-old bear named JJ4 by Italy’s National Institute of Wild Fauna, but more commonly known as Gaia.

Fugatti now has until May 11 to appeal the decision. JJ4 is officially named after her parental bears that were brought to Italy from Slovenia as part of the European Union-funded Life Ursus project to reintroduce bears into the Trentino between 1996 and 2004. In the last 15 years, several bear attacks have been reported, including the nearly fatal attack of a mushroom farmer in 2014 and the 2020 attack of a father and his son while they were hiking.

Should better call Saul Goodman

What did the jogger expect? You invade there world you get whats given. The same with sharks. You enter the ocean.. expect to get a bite taken out of you. Leave the bear alone. 🐻

What is the logic?

In Bear Law laying a bear trap is 10 years but we got this thing called a plea bargain

Верю что медведица не виновна и те кто виновен понесёт наказание

The real Life cocaine bear

'Europe' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Might be what bears do for fun.

Kill the bear for doing bear shit. acelogicrightthere

Another victory for the law offices of Grizzle, Grizzle and Fur.

So it was a black bear eh 🤔

Was this the CocaineBear it was able to afford a legal team

12/10 - she’s looks sorry. Would pet forbidden doggo.

Stop invading their territory

If a bear kills me I don't want the bear to die! That's bullshit is goddamm bear

Lol do it was put on trial?

Must have stood it’s ground. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The fuck. Killing a Bear ?

There's thousands of people in the world they should be grateful it wasn't a person that killed the jogger

In other pertinent news, CNN has no consistent idea of how to portray the precarious American political landscape, ricocheting capriciously between Fox talking points and AP ledes, hoping for a sliver of an ever elusive audience. A bear on death row is a '23 idea of a safe story.

Wow. I mean wow. This is just top notch journalism. You are an absolute 🤡

Why is Italy affording Due Process to a bear!?!?…. Is this a joke? Or is Italy a joke

How many times we you post this story?

Must have a good legal team

Bears are there first don’t go in their homes stay away leave them alone

Must have been a trans bear.

CocaineBear

Free the bear. Joggers are annoying anyway.

All in fun….

Leave the bear alone nasty humans.

Too much to bear …

Waiting to see if the bear kills another?

Are they doing this to warn other bears? Is this supposed to be a crime deterrent? This is a joke.

Is that how long it takes to digest a jogger?

There is 8 billion humans on this planet, posing existential threat to most species. My vote is to keep the bear alive, and inform joggers that forests are not reserved solely for human arrogance.

Wait hold on how do you it’s a female? Did it tell you it identifies as a female bear? You shouldn’t misgender animals you bigots.

Slow news day, ?

Please bear with the animal.

They sentenced a wild animal ?

There are bears in Italy? Didn't know.

The sooner they make that thing into a bearskin rug, the better. There's no forgiveness for killing a human.

i am this bear's attorney. she is innocent and looks forward to being exonerated in court

How did they conclude that it was a female bear ?

Don’t run in their land. Wow what a concept.

Should be given the 'stay of execution' forever. It's stupid that we kill wild animals because some 'piece of meat' ventured into their territory.

Please report this to PETA or someone. This bear is just bear

Poor bear

whys the bear responsible for someone else in their home fucking shit up?

Pretend like you’re legit news agency and reword you headline for adults…

Go Bears !

Lol, I hope it gets free and mauls a bunch more people because they tried to put a bear through the legal process.

I wonder about the judge who passed this judgment to sentence a bear to death. His/Her all previous judgments should be put under scrutiny and thoroughly explored.

Didn’t know bears were held to the same standard as humans when it comes to murder. Why isn’t the bear having its day in court?

ALM Animal Lives Matter

She must have some lawyer..

Give that bear some cocaine......

But was it a jury of her peers?

Poor bear.

Bears Lives Matter

Justice for andrea papi

Let her liveeeee!! 💔💔💔

Humans will coin the phrase 'mama bear' and try to snuff one for natural behavior that birthed the phrase.

Team Bear! 🐻

These bears running around high on cocaine and meth. Where does it end

What about all the people who hunt and kill bears. They get off scot-free! Humans are sometimes the worst!

4% of black bears commit 60% of all maulings.

Put it in the zoo for life killing it makes no sense..

It's beyond my imagination

Only in America.

Seriously, this is what you’re covering as news? Some random animal that killed a random person in another country? You guys are bored at CNN aren’t you?

If he was a Polar bear this would of been swept under the rug.

Protect and defend your right to arm bears!!

Everyone mad about this probably also eats meat haha

Is there not a constitutional right to arm bears?

Consider posting a few signs telling the bears they are not allowed to maul humans? That should do the trick.

The bear did nothing wrong.. its a fuckin bear, what? They gone charge it with premeditated manslaughter ? Foh

How about when a bear mauls a human, we declaw all other bears in the area?

It’s funny that all this is happening and the bear has no idea

They knew this bear was extremely violent for years but they had to wait for someone to die to actually start doing something

Maybe the jogger shouldn’t have been running through her home?

Yet another infringement of the right to bear arms

Killing a jogger in NY doesn't carry that kind of penalty.

Was there a trial by its peers? A man breaks and enters a bear’s home, the bear protects her family from the intruder, but is sentenced to life? The Bear was Standing its Ground!

Please leave the bear alone! It didn't do anything wrong.

Not humans being the judge jury and executioner of other species

Why, such stupid mentality, it's the animals habitat. Humans are suppose to be smarter and make better choices on were to enjoy the outdoors. It's not the animals fault, maybe the human should be punished for being stupid. Pisses me off.

What was the runner doing in their territory in the first place?

Surely there’s a tech solution to bear attacks ? Perhaps collars & Geo areas that electrocute the bear if it goes near people footpaths & tracks ?

Bears don’t adhere to human laws

If only there were a good bear with a gun

We kill them every day, and there's no law that punish us for that.

It is a bear!!!! Very sad for a jogger, but killing a bear won’t change any of this.. nonsense!

This are wild animals not humans what do you expect! The bear went bear! 😂

Hahaha can't make this up

ClownWorld_

Sounds like San Francisco

Has it been released without bail?

That bear don't know wtf going on 😅

Great, I’m sure that will teach the bear community a valuable lesson about mauling joggers 🏃‍♂️🧸

This wasn’t the bears fault. The woman was inside the bears home. The human is totally at fault. As usual a human might get a poor Mamma bear murdered for acting like a Mamma bear in her own home. People need to learn about dangers where they choose to go.

Nature being nature and daft humans think they can control it strange breed us humans..

That bear did not get a fair trial.

Seems like the jogger was on the bear's area. Black bear's lives matter

Bear mauls and kills human. Idiots: “It’s just a bear acting on instinct. Leave it alone”. Pitbull mauls and kills human. Same idiots: “It’s a savage animal and needs to be banned and destroyed”. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Uh... It's a fucking bear. Shoot it already.

How many people does the bear get to kill?

Not “cocaine bear”,again!!!

Do people realise that we share this planet with other creatures ?

😒

Seems the punishment will deter other bears.

Woah, can you please define a female for us? And how do you know that it identifies as female.

This bear had attacked before, it had already got a culling order when it attacked Andrea Papi, who was a man. Conservationists had planned for a 50-bear population in the area when they brought this bear's parents in. Now there are a 100.

pero cuando el humano mata un oso nada pasa

Every kid has heard the story of 'Goldilocks and the 3 bears' It's a cautionary tale to teach kids to stay the tf away from bear (animal) territory (don't tresspass) Some grew up and forgot 🤷🏾‍♂️

Bears attack when they feel threatened or when their young are in danger, if the runner saw the bear and did not stop the same caused the attack. We know that Italy any act of bears always go and kill them so they traffic bears to collectors in Italy.

Please stop the execution of the bear! If you qant to punish it kindly relocate it to some other place along with her cubs.

It says in the article the WWF agree with the execution, WHAT THE FUCK They’re meant to protect animals. This is a wild animal being a wild animal. Bet they wouldn’t petition for a lion to be put down if it mauled a poacher!!

While I feel for the victim, seems strange to punish a bear 🐻 for being a bear— what is the end goal there?

So now judiciary systems are extended to wild animals, including… bears? Imagine humans telling a bear his dietary preference is wrong 🤔 I’ll wait

It will be put into a zoo or something. I don’t know if it is better for the bear

Release the bear

Two reported attacks on ppl, one resulting in a fatality.. it's sadly time to put this one down simple as that.

Looks innocent to me. But let’s get Kim K in here to get him off death row.

Is this real..

The bear was racist

Bears are innocent!

This is news why!

relocate if anything.. humans are the real animals..

Humans.... 🤦

How do we get this bear some cocaine for its last meal?

It's called natural selection. That's what happens when aliens walk in your backyard. You defend it.

Omg don’t kill her ! She needs her space also ! Wtf

So this nigga got parole before even goin to jail. Shits wild.

No put him the zoo animals don’t know what they doing they see a jogging you run even dogs chase you you no suppose t run when you see a animal don’t run in front of animal He chase you you walk or stop don’t run ok it not bear fault because the jogging was running don’t run

Yeah...I'm siding with the bear on this one.

I’m very sad that someone died, however why should the bear be killed for doing what bears do? I’m sure there are many other places to jog in Italy.

TishaCM Wt🤬

So the bear in her house somebody break in and she sentence to death smh

It was the cocaine talking.

Look you go jogging in the woods-wtf you think is gonna happen. It’s like getting mad at sharks for taking a bite out of you. Wtf you’re in their home.

It was the jogger fault, i'm sure the bear didn't go into their house they went into the bear's house

love bears

Wonder what would've been the execution method. Firing squad? Chair? Lethal injection? Or good old fashioned lynching.

The bear was probably going mad from the beeping of her tracking device that had a low battery for 2 days. Wouldn't you? Don't misunderstand, my heart bleeds for the jogger. My God the horror

In the States he has the right to bear arms

Sad jogger was in the bears space. Stay off their lawn.

Only got arrested because she's black. Bet a polar bear would have gotten away with it. 😅😅😅

Italy treats its bears better than America trats it’s humans

Killing a bear for doing what is in its nature, while being in its natural habitat is pathetic. We go out of our way to kill animals for literally sport. But when they kill 1 person on THEIR land, we sentence it to death? Makes sense.

More patents from it taly...

Free the bear!!!

Send it to Russia.

Why? Is the bear working on an appeal or something?

leave the bear alone

JusticeForTheBear

Why? You're killing a bear for being in a bear in a bears habitat Just cull all bears then. In fact, let's kill all animals that could possibly kill us. humans are way more important than animals anyway People are so awful 'can't go into nature and expect nature not to nature

Good! Like I’ve always said: Way more hikers and joggers than bears and mtn lions ect.

Bear needs its own counsel

Free the 🐻

But animals kill and killing them serves zero justice

animals got more rights in Italy

I’d free this bear over any useless ghetto ass drugged out rapper any day!

Free this bear

It is a bear in the wild. We are the ones intruding on there homes. Go buy a treadmill.

If I'm ever attacked/killed by a bear, it's my fault. Leave the bear alone.

Murder is murder

In the US a bear that kills a human and then consumed the remains - hence developing a taste for humans - is put down. Apparently that was the case in this story. If a defensive attack, and the human was killed, but no consumption, the bear is usually not put down.

How can an animal be sentenced to death then given a stay of execution? Has new evidence come to the fore? Has the bear decided to change her plea? What?

Score 1 for the bears! 🏆

...so that it can put its affairs in order?

lol what

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I mean- if we let Jan 6 people go, we should let him go too

Leave the Bear alone.

So...kill a bear....for being a bear. Riiigght.

Maybe they could just relocate the bear so it doesn’t attack more joggers. Do they really need to kill it

Maybe if we had a civil conversation with the bear and she was aware that “thou shall not kill” is a commandment then maybe the bear would have made a different decision. C’mon, are we really holding a bear responsible for being a bear?

How about a sign that says bears will eat you, don’t run here, wildlife isn’t cuddly

This is why you never choose to represent yourself in court. Hire a lawyer.

It's a wild bear her world leave her alone.

This just in, I don’t care

Marjorie Taylor Greene will take the bear.

FREE HER

Gotta hear both sides.

Why are we killing animals when they attack us for entering their territory?

Human: Runs in the forest Bear: Is a bear Human: *Pikachu face*

Bears doing bear shit

So kill a bear for acting on its own nature?

That bear needs some cocaine

If this was in the US this bear be on death row for 20 years getting love letters from fans

Joggers could be delicious 🤷‍♂️

The jogger was in her house. Leave the bear alone.

Leave the bear alone. She was just being a bear. We trespassed on her property.

wow that bear must have a god lawyer

Where are the really important information? Please tell what are the pronouns of the bear!

Let him go. Or do the same thing to former US presidents who have done the same but on a larger scale

Does the bear have a lawyer or something? This headline is a head scratcher.

In news: wild animal acting like wild animal kills like wild animal.

So you bring bears to the region, and then respond by killing them when they attack people? We are the worst species.

To be fair to the bear, it’s been reported the Italian jogger smelled of garlic and parsley

Jogger runs jnto forest. Jogger knows this is nature. Nature attacks. Nature is blaimed for you know being nature.

Omg ..🥹😬😳😱

HOW DARE YOU CNN ASSUME THIS BEARS 🐻 GENDER..!!!!

The bear deserves quality legal representation. She was negatively influenced by Cocaine Bear and the real blame lies with Hollywood.

When humans wander onto bear territory not expecting a wild animal to behave like a wild animal…

She has a right to a trial

What law is that? Pretty sure nature doesn’t abide by human made up laws. Don’t mess with nature.

Why? Shoot the bloody thing.

You kill one jogger and you're tarred for life. 🙄

Let the bear live

Animals get sentenced too?

GregAbbott_TX, this is a case where you can use your Stand Your Ground law and pardon the female bear!

Can you give me another reason to fell ashamed for being Italian? Done ✅

Wait, we’re able to put bears on trial?

Was it given a fair trial? Did it give it's side of the story as well? Was it's menta health put into consideration?

Free her

Nature. Jogger should have been a runner.

What a world we live in where human beings can murder 30 people in one day, rape young children and commit war crimes, but 'they' get fair treatment cuz...'mY hUmAn RiGhTs' Humans are truly scum. Why can't we kill human criminals?

They better not execute the bear!

Did the bear have any comments ?

Rebambe Avenged 🤧

Bear is a wild animal and can’t be responsible what he did in wild territory😡

Keep the bear alive!

He must not be executed, he is animal, he needs humans sensibility.

Prioritizing animal more than human. A new woke culture.

This took place in whose territory.Did the biker speak the accurate language with the bear? Was it possible to use another course?

Temporary insanity

Why not sentence the human race to death for the fatal mauling of the entire planet? Get real.

A bear does what a bear does...
