Italian court spares bear's life after fatal attack on runner in the Alps.
TL;DR
An administrative court in Italy's Alpine region has suspended an order to euthanize a brown bear that killed a runner last month. The court requested more details about the attack and set a hearing for December 14 to decide whether to transfer the bear to a refuge. Animal rights groups had challenged the order to kill the bear, and the runner's family opposes euthanasia. The bear's parents were brought to Italy from Slovenia two decades ago to increase the brown bear population.
