Slovakia Allows Culled Bears to Be Eaten

  • In 2024, Slovakia's government approved a plan to cull about 350 brown bears and sell their meat to the public.
  • The plan followed a rise in fatal bear attacks, including a man killed in a Central Slovakia forest in April 2024.
  • Slovakia is home to approximately 1,300 brown bears, which are safeguarded by European Union regulations and can only be culled under rare circumstances related to public safety.
  • State Minister Filip Kuffa said bear meat "is edible" and must be certified free of the Trichinella parasite to ensure safe consumption.
  • The culling and sale drew strong criticism from environmentalists and MEPs, who called it "absurd" and worry it may increase poaching risks.
