JJ4, the female bear that killed a jogger in Italy, has been relocated to a German wildlife sanctuary after months of legal battles. Previously, plans to euthanize her fueled intense public debate over animal welfare.
The real problem imho is, that according to the article, despite having previously injured two other people she was left in the wild. She could/should have been brought to a sanctuary after the first incident.
If you look at the bear’s family, it seems obvious that they somehow learned that humans weren’t to be feared and avoided. Her mother is already in the same sanctuary, two of her brothers were killed. One in Switzerland, the other in Germany - the (in)famously nicknamed Problembär (“problem bear”) Bruno.
