Damage to productions
The numbers of wild boars killed are still insufficient, slightly exceeding 12, so the target of 50 remains far away. That's what he claims Coldiretti Piedmont in highlighting a situation, in addition to the wild boar plague, increasingly collapsing and unsustainable with incalculable economic damage to agricultural production, the environment and which exposes citizens to accidents, many times even fatal.
The number of animals culled
“Almost a year after the explosion of the first case of wild boar plague, the numbers of what should be an extraordinary depopulation action are too low – said the President of Coldiretti Alessandria Mauro Bianco -. The data show how the control activity of the Province, albeit with still insufficient numbers, is causing an increase in slaughtered animals, but it is necessary to invest to increase the personnel in charge of this activity”.
Actions to be started urgently
On the other hand, the numbers relating to killings with respect to hunting, in particular selection hunting, are increasingly disappointing. “Now with the operational guidelines there must be no more excuses: we need to urgently start with the interventions, in a streamlined way, without depending on the ATC and CA which, until now, have effectively blocked operations. We remember how essential it is to allow our companies to be able to carry out their work, even more so in this moment in which food sovereignty must be guaranteed in the light of the upheavals caused by the war in Ukraine", added the Director of Coldiretti Alessandria Roberto Bianco (source: Coldiretti ).
