Legea urșilor avansează, cu 859 de exemplare vizate pentru vânătoare

The bear hunting law progresses in the Chamber of Deputies, with committees approving the annual hunting of 859 bears. The issue has shifted from a technical to a political one, as Parliament faces local pressure from communities fearing bear attacks while needing to find a sustainable solution. Nearly 900 bears are proposed for hunting to prevent attacks and damages. The law's return for reexamination by President Nicușor Dan indicates serious concerns about its initial adoption. This situation raises questions about whether the proposed quota genuinely reflects on-the-ground realities or is merely a hasty political response. The Parliament must demonstrate a coherent strategy for wildlife management rather than a reactive approach to a growing crisis.
