Here it is, after the mysterious leap made from Eastern Europe or from Belgium and Germany to the territories between Piedmont and Liguria, the PSA (African Swine Fever), took another inexplicable leap and entered right inside the ancient walls of Rome. If the arrival in Italy represented an inexplicable mystery, now the appearance in Rome of this virus is even more shrouded in mystery and it will be the task of the authorities, not just the health ones, clear the field of any doubts and possibly hit the guilty with the utmost severity. Swine fever, which we remember is absolutely not dangerous for humans, is a highly contagious and lethal viral disease for pigs, whether farmed or wild like wild boars.
So contagious and so lethal as to force the authorities to decree the slaughter of all pigs in order to stem its spread. As usual, there are those who immediately speculate on this very serious emergency and instead of asking, as they have done in all other countries, the intervention of hunters - entirely voluntary as well as extremely valid from a technical point of view - to monitor the environment and find any contaminated carcasses, he finds nothing better to do that blame the hunting activity for the spread of the virus. Here you are, it is this as usual ideological approach that worries us and which makes us doubt in a courageous and pragmatic intervention against this very serious emergency which would risk causing devastating consequences for the economy.
We therefore expect that, at least this time, the ideological hysteria and that, once the mystery of this sudden appearance in Rome has been clarified, the authorities know how to intervene with rigor and with respect for science. At the same time, while waiting for full light to be shed on this strange episode, any form of alarmism should be avoided and real media terrorism that would end up aggravating even more a possible, and not yet proven, infection.
The situation of the Capital, in fact, it is in itself particularly worrying because the parks and protected areas that surround it are not only quiet dormitories and delivery rooms for wild boars that then scurry under the Vatican walls and in the parking lots of supermarkets, but are now uncontested ground. of foxes and corvids which, as we know, after having destroyed biodiversity, are among the main causes of the spread of the virus. The hunters, ALL HUNTERS - both those on the hunt and those who practice other forms of control and selective sampling - are and will always be at the forefront, representing the first bastion of DAILY control of the national natural environment. Not using this "force" thus prepared would be a real environmental and social crime (source: ANLC).
