In the campaigns of Oristano they seriously fear i damage caused by crows, as well as other harmful species. The local Coldiretti has raised the alarm, given that it promises a new season at a loss and with several farms on their knees to cope with wildlife. The association has also placed the accent on the delays of the Sardinia Region and the province as regards the compensation relating to 2015 and 2016. Among other things, theRegional Department of Agriculture , Regional Environment Commission they did not provide the expected answers in this regard.
The hooded crow tends to damage the horticultural crops typical of the spring and summer period: Coldiretti Oristano therefore asked accurate and updated statistics on the presence of birds, since one doesn't exist yet. Furthermore, the control plan of the past years should be improved: throughout Sardinia there has been less talk of 19 thousand crows to contain, two thousand in the province of Oristano alone, numbers that for the agricultural association are light years away from any data or census.
In addition, there is an evident imbalance in the distribution of the modes of containment (60% for cages and 40% for firearms): in an emergency situation such as the present one, the cages cannot be preponderant as is the case now. The provincial president John Murru finally asked for the census and zoning of the specimens, an approach to be extended to other species such as wild boar and nutria.
