Containment plan to be implemented
“On the question of wolf attacks in Alpago, we strongly support the position of the mayor of Chies d'Alpago, Gianluca Dal Borgo: the only solution is the implementation of an urgent containment plan for these animals". The situation, clarifies Cia-Agricoltori Italiani Belluno, “is out of control. It has now become a public safety problem given that the wolf could also attack humans."
Charges to be dismissed
And, above all, observes the president of Cia Belluno, Rio Levis, “we vehemently reject the accusations of those who, like the science communicator Cristiano Fant, accuse farmers of incompetence on a topic that, despite ourselves, we know very well. Just as we know the laws that regulate matter." For years, agricultural entrepreneurs in Belluno have equipped themselves with specific prevention systems such as, for example, fences with single and double netting and guardian dogs.
The installation of networks
“The agricultural organizations have carried out adequate information activities on how to install the high nets - adds the president -. In any case, the flocks are not left unattended, but are constantly monitored by the farmers, even at night." However, the wolf, which is an intelligent animal, continues to enter fences and perpetuate predation. “Even the most structured agricultural companies, which use a mix of prevention systems, have suffered heavy predation in the current year”. “I hope - concludes Levis - that the scientific communicator Fant will come to the next meetings on the topic which will be organized by Cia Belluno, in collaboration with local breeders and institutions. We hope to start a direct discussion to resolve this critical issue." (CIA source)
