With the excuse of the presence of wild boar and roe deer in the inhabited areas, due solely and exclusively to the absence of people for the rules on coronavirus, The Liguria Region and Coldiretti take the opportunity to spread unjustified alarms of who knows what dangers and re-propose the use of hunters (renamed "coadjutors") to limit the number of these animals "comments in a note theEnpa.
"It is now clear instead that the hunt has not only failed (and has no interest in it) in limiting the number but, even as the scientists confirm, unheard of, it facilitates its growth; the hunt for wild boar "in hunt" in fact disrupts the original large herds of wild boars, led by an alpha female who is the only one to reproduce: the formation of small groups therefore allows many more females, and more and more young, to reproduce too; in this chaos the presence of the wolf is very useful, as experts and hunters know, it favors the regrouping of herds for self-defense purposes: in large herds, naturally made up of females and young, it is easier and more effective to defend the latter from wolf attacks ”.
“And precisely with regard to wolves, the Savona Animal Protection Department recalls that it had been proposing for some time defend the flocks with guard dogs and sturdy stables and pens; finally, after so much stalling, as usual speaking of shooting down some wolves, the Liguria Region has finally begun to give Maremma shepherds to breeders ”. "Enpa - he concludes in the note - is now confidently waiting (but not so much) that Ligurian politicians begin to think, to limit wild boars and roe deer, on alternative systems (such as species-specific vaccination, etc.) which are imposed as priority to the abatement by the law in force, listening for once in a while, if not the Animal Protection, scientists and experts not succubus to hunters ”.
