A Badia Polesine, in the province of Rovigo, companies are forced to contact the Municipality to report a really serious problem. Some self-styled animal rights activists have in fact released the otters which have been capture in the course of regular intervention. In this area of Veneto, the regional plan is being implemented which has the eradication of the species as its final objective.
The animal is increasingly harmful and it is ruining the embankments: precisely in Badia, then, the rodents arrived in the city, with all the risks involved, in particular as regards road safety. The City has hired a local firm to catch with special cages the animals: one of the traps, however, was tampered with during the anonymous blitz.
However, similar incidents had also been reported in the past. Animal rights thinking about the species is well exemplified by what will happen today in Trieste. There will in fact be a procession in which participants will protest against the eradication plan approved by the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region. According to animal rights activists, rodents must be contained, but without resorting to violent methods and relying on other unspecified solutions.
