(ANSA) - Trento, July 16 - A fugitive Italian bear was caught
by a camera trap in northern Italy on Tuesday.
The bear, M49, on Monday scaled an electric fence to escape
from a pound after being caught because it is a danger to farm
animals.
Authorities have ordered the animal to be shot if it poses a
danger to humans too.
It is currently believed to be in the Marzoil woods near
Trento.
Meanwhile the Constitutional Court ruled Tuesday that laws
mandating the capture and killing of dangerous bears, and
wolves, were not against the Italian Constitution.
It upheld the laws issued in the autonomous provinces of
Trento and Bolzano.
