When the former grillino minister Costa rejoiced over the release of the bear that killed Andrea Papi

As head of the Environment, he warned the autonomous province of Trento against killing the animal, then, together with animal rights activists, he presented the appeal which led to the release of JJ4

“Today common sense and freedom won: the State Council upheld the appeal against the capture of the bear Gaia. I can only thank the associations that are carrying on these battles that we want to support and for which, through the state attorney’s office, we have formed ourselves alongside them. Gaia is a bear who later has three cubs and catching her would have been a huge problem for the lives of the cubs ”.
