La Bird Fair of Marina di Carrara was canceled a few days ago on the orders of the mayor Francesco De Pasquale: the decision was taken following the provisions of theExperimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Lazio and Tuscany, who expressed himself on the dangers related tobird flu. The same Institute prohibited the holding of the event and the municipal ordinance was a direct consequence of this choice.
The hunters are not there, however, and are insisting that the fair be held anyway. The organizer, Joseph Costa, judged the decision a forcing of the Municipality and the Local Health Authority. The document of Ministry of Health which indicates the areas of our country where fairs of this type must be prohibited has been registered.
In particular, the map refers to the Northern Italy and in Tuscany similar events took place on a regular basis. The goal is now to postpone the appointment to the next September 9th, also because Costa himself declared that he had received a call from the ASL, ready to authorize the fair, but without poultry and with the only turdidae born in breeding (as indeed happens in every event).
