The shooting of the bear that attacked the man at Pivka is not planned for now
According to the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning, experts from the Slovenian Forest Service studied the brown bear’s attack on a man on Monday. As they prepared, the man surprised the bear with the cubs, who had no other way out, so there was a meeting in which the man was injured. The 30-year-old suffered a severe facial injury and was taken to the University Medical Center Ljubljana for treatment. In the case of the attacks in Pivka, the representatives of the institution went to the field and in a university situation, without giving an opinion on taking the bear from the wild. The Environmental Agency of the Republic of Slovenia (Arso) did not issue a shooting permit.
The Ministry of the Environment stated that the brown bear population in Slovenia is in a favorable state of preservation with a trend of improvement. In the expert starting points for the management of brown bears in Slovenia for the period 2020–2023, the authors found that the spring, ie the highest annual, estimate of bear damage for 2020 is 990 individuals or that their number probably ranges from 860 to 1120.
On average, two brown bear attacks per person per year
The human brown bear can pose a physical danger that occurs relatively rarely. According to data for forests in Slovenia, there are on average two cases of brown bear attacks per person per year. In recent years, there were no attacks in 2018, and in 2019 and 2020 there were three.
Encounters between humans and brown bears are rare in nature, as the brown bear is an animal that generally perceives humans as a danger and therefore avoids it. On rare occasions, however, we may come across encounters that can pose a threat to human health and safety in certain settings. The brown bear never chases a man and hunts him as prey for food, he can only attack him if we surprise him, if he feels threatened or provoked, and it is a defensive reaction, they added.
Permits are issued by Arso, and the shooting is carried out by hunting families
The ministry stated that on 20 July the Forest Service informed them about the termination of the operation of intervention groups for large associations due to disorder in the areas of labor law matters. “The resignation of an intervention team or its failure to act shall not affect the resolution of cases where rapid action is required in the event of a threat to human life and property due to large alliances,“so asserted.
The Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning has taken over the coordination of receiving calls from citizens on numbers 113 and 112, the Forest Service is preparing an expert opinion on the urgent action, and the brown bear is being shot by hunting ground managers. due to large connections.
The permit for the possible shooting of a bear is issued by Arso, which must first obtain the expert opinion of the Slovenian Forest Service and the Slovenian Institute for Nature Protection. If the protected animal species, which also include large associations, affect the damage to human property, while the state is responsible for it.
The Nature Conservation Act stipulates that an injured party who has done everything as a good master to prevent damage to property, but the damage has occurred nonetheless, is entitled to compensation. The amount of compensation is decided by Arso on the basis of the minutes of the Forest Service. The assessment and payment of compensation for damage caused by insured animals is smooth and ongoing, so it has been added to the ministry.
