Le nourish of the party area of Villasanta they can be quiet for a little while longer. The campaign of sterilization of large rodents announced by the municipality in September, has not yet begun and has not yet been set a date. The municipal administration, together with theENPA extension has yet to determine when the veterinarians of the national animal protection body will carry out sterilization operations. Operations that according to the Municipality should guarantee a balance of the fauna of the area avoiding the arrival of other otters from Lambro.
These rodents “will be left in the party area to guard the territory so as to avoid that other specimens arrive-explained Deputy Mayor Gabriella Garatti- “. Seeing the otters strolling near the Dosso, in the Feste area and on the cycle path will therefore become the norm with all due respect to how many, and they are many if not all, they turn up their noses when they see these large rodents passing by, all similar to large mice with a tail that reaches even 30 cm. For now, the nutria in the party area are in the order of three or four. They are animals that reproduce two or three times a year and the female gives birth to three to six cubs.
Hence the need of the Municipality to start sterilization as soon as possible. In the coming weeks there may be communication about the dates of these operations decided in September but not yet planned. In the meantime, next week, gods will be hung on the poles of the Party Area in front of the entrance to the Parco del Dosso information signs precisely on the nutria to explain to the citizens the characteristics of these animals with which, in the idea of the Municipality, one will have to learn to live together (MB News).
