To stop the invasion of the boars in the countryside and in the cities we are ready to ask for the intervention of the army. This is what the president of Coldiretti said Ettore Prandini at the end of the blitz of thousands of farmers and breeders, together with citizens and institutions in piazza SS. Apostles a Roma against the siege of wild animals, with victims in the streets and devastated crops, while swine fever endangers pig farms and national butchery.
"This is the last peaceful demonstration we do, if we do not get results next time we will be in Montecitorio - denounced Prandini - since the situation in which they put us is absolutely not sustainable. Due to wild boars we have lost eight hundred thousand cultivated hectares, putting our production capacity at risk in a delicate moment due to the war in Ukraine. It is paradoxical that with costs out of control we have to spend more to cultivate and our crops are destroyed by the wild.
But there are also farmers who have even lost their lives due to wild boars - continued the president of Coldiretti - and in a normal country this should not be possible. The Prefecture of Rome, to which he announced that he will carry out the demolition measure, but it must not apply only to the Capital or the Lazio Region, we expect the same measure to be implemented in the next few days commitment - concluded Prandini - to put an end to a paradoxical situation that has already seen tens of thousands of farms closed (source: Coldiretti).
