Il Municipality of Castel Goffredo (province of Mantova) issued in February a resolution for the containment e the eradication of nutria throughout the territory, one determines that it has replaced the previous ordinance, given that it can no longer be implemented. This is the authorization granted to three operators, selected to also use firearms (specifically we are talking about type A operators).
There will also be a responsible and a municipal contact person. In addition, others have joined 50 authorized operators, who can only use cages: in this case the task is assigned above all to farmers operating on their land. The first operational day allowed for the capture of 27 nutria, while the specimens captured so far have been 120. The same municipality has expressly asked the Province to organize a course, as other neighboring administrations have done.
107 participants were hosted: the other municipalities involved are Acquanegra sul Chiese, Asola, Canneto, Casalmoro, Casaloldo, Casalromano, Ceresara, Gazoldo degli Ippoliti, Mariana Mantovana and Piubega. The number of operators has therefore clearly increased in the Mantua area, so much so that Castel Goffredo can be considered one of the municipalities with the highest number of people authorized to shoot. The territory will now be divided into areas and each team will garrison one.
