Yesterday, Monday 20 November 2017, the Province of Alessandria brought together local farmers, administrators and above all the Regional Councilor for Agriculture, Giorgio Ferrero, to talk about the extraordinary culling plan for roe deer. The hunting sampling foresees a maximum number of one thousand ungulates and is currently being studied by theISPRA.
The commitment of all is clear, the President of the Province, Gianfranco Baldi, he hoped for a quick departure and in full compliance with the law. First of all you will have to proceed with an accurate map of the territory, so as to understand the areas where the killing will be necessary. The increasingly frequent road accidents and the damage complained of by farmers impose a certain hurry, the only certain thing is that the problem must be solved.
Animal welfare organizations have railed against this plan and an online signature collection is still active to block the hunt (at the moment there are just over 69 thousand supporters of the petition), but the positions of the actors involved are clear. Among other things, although we do not know when the plan could start, we are thinking of make it executive even during the closing of the hunt.
