“I shot out of fear but I didn't want to kill, I found her inside my property, it was an impulsive, instinctive act”. This would appear to be the statement released to the Carabinieri San Benedetto dei Marsi from the man who killed theOrsa Amarena. “We have said and repeated “we are a model, Abruzzo is a model”… We are not a model of anything. In front of the murders that we hear about on the news, the killing of a bear is always nothing in comparison, but it is not like that. Let's ask ourselves how many illegal chicken coops there are in the territory, with shacks and shacks”. The director of the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise Luciano Sammarone.
“The bear had entered a fence. For the rest we know nothing about the dynamics of the facts – he adds -. Judgements should be postponed until later. Until we know how things went we do not pass judgement, everyone should keep their own instead of holding the trial on Facebook. However, I have a hard time believing that it was a defense. The Amarena Bear has never attacked anyone. But I also do not judge and I do not express myself until the investigations reveal what happened”.
“There is little to say, in the last few days, precisely on August 30, there was the first sighting of the Bear in the city, even the forest police came to visit a chicken coop where the Bear had gone looking for food; we as a community have no experience with bears, it is the first time I remember a bear visiting us. Yesterday I was there until 3 in the morning at the place of the killing and the cubs had not yet been found”. These are the words with which the mayor of San Benedetto dei Marsi, Antonio Cerasani, commented on the killing of Bear Amarena.
