Fauna: Liguria, Francesco Bruzzone on the invasion of seagulls at the Genoa airport criticizing the measures taken, "why don't we try salt on the tail?".
“The solutions proposed by environmentalists, so far, have not brought any results. Why don't we try salt on the tail? ”. With these words Francesco Bruzzone, hunter and group leader of the Northern League in the Regional Council of Liguria, comments on the recent invasion of seagulls at the "Cristoforo Colombo" airport in Genoa, Liguria, whose massive presence on the runways has blocked and delayed flights in the days past, creating many inconveniences to passengers. A provocation, that of the Regional Councilor, controversial with regard to the methods used so far. “The situation is worrying, one of the main airports in the North cannot be a hostage to the seagulls. Several times I have brought the question to the banks of the Regional Council of Liguria, with three different questions in the past years, to report the massive presence of animals, but nothing has changed: the risk remains, and in the coming weeks it is destined to worsen with the 'arrival of other migrants ”, says Bruzzone.
“The methods used to date have been of no use, starting with those indicated by animal rights activists, such as bollards, cannons, megaphones. All useless: the seagulls are still there. If you really don't want to take the solutions used in Northern Europe as examples, the only remedy to solve the problem, at this point, is to ask some animal rights activist to take the field directly, going to the airport runway to put the salt. on the tail of the seagulls ”, the leader of the Carroccio provocatively concludes.
