Every day, "Master Petz" is observed around the Oisternig in Carinthia. He not only stumbled into wildlife cameras, but also destroyed several beehives. Residents are unsettled!

"People no longer even dare to go into the forest to pick mushrooms and cyclists are now also avoiding our area," says supervising hunter Peter Hebein, as there are currently daily encounters with brown bears in the Gailtal valley, more precisely in the municipalities of Hohenthurn and Feistritz an der Gail. This year alone, "Master Petz" has raided more than ten beehives there.
