The PSA in Piedmont
Cia Asti and Cia Piemonte express the utmost concern for the discovery of a wild boar affected by swine fever in the territory of Mombaruzzo, the first case in the province of Asti and for the further expansion of the red zone. Piedmont is one of the regions most affected in this sense, together with Liguria.
Total immobility
“Twenty years ago we already said that underestimating wildlife would seriously damage the agricultural and livestock sectors. Today we see total inaction compared to what we have been asking for years to eradicate the problem" - say Gabriele Carenini, president of Cia Piemonte and Marco Capra, president of Cia Asti.
Necessary interventions
“The farmers' cry of alarm can no longer go unheard, the competent authorities must intervene as soon as possible, without further hesitation, culling as many wild boars as possible. At this point we reiterate that the only possible solution is the use of the army" (source: CIA).
