Repayments for damages caused by the increasingly massive presence in our territories of ungulates, wild boar, deer and roe deer are increasingly being read in the newspapers. They weren't present until the 60s, then they were introduced, no one knows why, in an unsuitable wooded environment, so we were forced to feed them. They are very prolific and have multiplied dramatically reaching three hundred thousand specimens in Tuscany alone.
In the meantime, hunting has always been made more expensive and limited, restricting the hunting calendars for some species and only selective hunting for others. The data that can be read are of damages detected in Tuscany in five (5) years for 20 million euros (forty billion of the old lire) and about 400 road accidents. Considering that agriculture is being practiced less and less, also due to these damages suffered by the large company and the small garden, we can understand that we wanted to continue to expand a problem that has dragged on for years, causing enormous costs.
It is not clear what pushes the administrators of the various responsible bodies not to deal with the problem differently and to spend the enormous sum that is needed for the reimbursement of damages in a different and more productive way. In Tuscany alone, calculating twenty million in damages in five years, a calculation extended to the economy must be made: 20 million for the loss of products not sold by farmers, another 20 million for use of public money to repay those damages.
Thus, making an approximate economic account for the multiplier, not forty million euros but about 100 million euros that could move and that do not benefit the citizens. But if public money does not benefit citizens, who benefits from it? Not to mention the price of the potential meat that could be obtained. Few considerations, but enough to realize once again, if needed, how citizens' money is spent.
This time they serve to make our territory a beautiful zoo to see perhaps, but due to the use of public money of which citizens do not see economic returns, but only increasing problems. We can see that throughout Italy there are many interested parties, given that all regions spend, and it will continue to do so despite the cuts and the crisis. The question remains as in the old Arbore transmission: is it better to cut ungulates or sanity?
