An episode that saw the protagonist FIDC Bergamo. The place of the "misdeed" Endine Gaiano and the shores of Lake Gaiano, where two fishermen in a boat have found a dead male deer, with evident trauma on the body. It was an animal that in the late afternoon of Tuesday near the Cantamessa quarry was hit by a car passing on the SS.42: considerable damage to the car and fortunately only a great scare for the driver, while the deer had been lost track. The person in charge of the sector 1 of the Technical Commission Ungulates deer of the Ca Prealpi Bergamasche Giovanni Mazzucchelli contacted the toll-free number of the Police Corps without a positive response for an immediate recovery intervention, but rather he was invited to contact the UTR Bergamo for the resolution of the case.
Among other things, during the day on the shore of the lake we witnessed as usual crowd of onlookers looking for a photo, creating not a few difficulties in circulation in addition to the safety of the people themselves. Yesterday morning i local hunters, under the coordination of the Civil Protection of Endine Gaiano they managed to drag the animal ashore and only in the late afternoon did the Provincial Police intervene to recover the animal and be able to deliver it to the incinerator, a delay motivated by the absence of guards due to the Easter holidays. A temporary blackout on skills in this area, a clear signal from the provincial guards, overworked and no longer able to respond to all the needs of the territory, with only 19 elements from the 33 pre-reform Del Rio of 2015. Federcaccia Bergamo replied to the fact that he put the hunters in turmoil precisely because of this momentary absence of those in charge in preparing the recovery of the animal.
"We are in a very serious situation and it is the umpteenth proof that at the moment the passage of competences between regions and province is not working: it is clear that the provincial police are loaded with too many tasks and there are few men - these are the words of the new President of Fidc Bergamo Michael Bornaghi. Once again the role of the hunter in the service of the community is evident to all, yet another proof that the hunting world really works at the service of the people and in collaboration with other territorial realities. We are always available, but maybe it would be worth revising the deer harvesting plans, which is a species that is exploding and will become a new boar with the difference of 300 kilos ”.
The provincial guards could have been on vacation or at rest !!!
But the Carabinieri Forestali for the deer recovery operation were also all on vacation ???
