Vlado Began

Vlado Began is a resident of Šmarje pri Jelšah who recently voiced strong opinions against the culling of bears in Slovenia, arguing that such measures are ineffective and ethically troubling. He highlights the need for better wildlife management practices, such as creating carrion sites to keep bears in their natural habitats, rather than resorting to killing them. Began's concerns reflect a broader debate over wildlife conservation and human-animal conflicts, emphasizing the responsibility of livestock owners to protect their animals from potential bear encounters.
