As reported by Il Resto del Carlino, the Marche region is downloading on the ATC (Territorial hunting areas), the responsibilities for the payment of the compensation for the damages caused to crops from wild boars. The farmer and breeder has returned to his home in Amandola Pino Vitali, physically exhausted by the fatigue and heat of the last two days of protest in front of the offices of Palazzo Raffaello, in Ancona. The affection of family members, worried about his own, pushed him to return health conditions, but also the information sent to the farmer by the hunting and fishing office of the Marche Region.
"It seems to hit a rubber wall - says Pino Vitali -, the Marche Region and the Atc rebound the responsibilities and we farmers who are in the middle continue to suffer the consequences. This morning the letter was delivered to me by the regional offices with which I was invited to present a new request for compensation for damages to theAtc of FermoThis is because according to the regulations in force, only the ATCs are formally charged with providing compensation on behalf of the Region. Based on what was explained to me in the information, the procedures for claiming damages are simpler than in the past, so I want to be confident ». A battle that Pino Vitali has been carrying on with courage for about a month, followed with interest by many farmers from all over the region who are in the same condition as it.
"I will submit a new request for an inspection to the experts of the ATC of Fermo - continues Vitali - to assess my situation, I hadn't applied for it in the last year because I was very disheartened by the system. However, in the information it was not clearly specified whether the procedure will also take into account the damage I have suffered in the last five years, it will be a topic that will need to be explored. We are still people with reasoning, I want to try the latter solution, but I will go into the bottom of this story. I, like many other farmers, are facing enormous difficulties due to the damage caused by wild boars, effective and rapid solutions must be found immediately. It is not right that farmers with the sacrifice of their work feed these wild animals without having any kind of protection ».
