Newsfilter: Elections do not want bears, it is about convincing 50 hunters – Denník N

The news was selected and commented by Roman Pataj 1. If the bears do not want to end up very badly, they and the people should begin to listen. In June 2021, the bear killed a human in Slovakia after many years. Fortunately, nothing like this has happened this year, but there have been three attacks since last week. Each time, a bear and a cub attacked in places that people normally visit. Friday, June 10 – a bear and young men attacked a man on his way to work from Horná Ves to Kopernice. Both villages are in the district of Žiar nad Hronom. Monday, June 13 – another bear attacked the man at the chapel in Poruba near Prievidza. Wednesday, June 15 – on the tourist trail above Donovaly, a bear was chasing a mountain rescuer. He was injured during the escape. Nothing out of the ordinary yet. Yet. According to Soňa Mäkká, since the beginning of the year, this is the sixth case of an attack by a bear that ended in a human injury. If others did not increase, or at least do not increase as fast as we see now, it would be an above-normal but not an extreme year. According to statistics from Michal Haring of the Brown Bear Intervention Team, bears also attacked six times in 2020, 2015 and 2013. Seven times in 2007. Eight times in 2021 and 2014. Its data date back to 2000. The annual average is 3.5. Political theme for the regions. The problem is when the public sees three attacks in six days. In such a case, part of it will not calm the finding that we are still in the norm for at least a short time. A protest rally has already taken place in Banská Bystrica. He was invited by the county chairman of the county, Roman Malatinec (Hlas), and was also attended by representatives of some local governments. About a hundred people in total. Although this is not enough, it is already clear today that the topic has political potential and will be addressed in the regions. Especially when we have before the municipal elections.
