Despite bearing the date of February 2021, the concrete implementation of the 'Regional plan for the control of fallow deer populations' of pine forest of Classe it will not see the light before next autumn. "We made an inspection with a company from Ispra in charge of assessing the situation and indicating some guidelines for the capture of the animals" he explains Claudius Miccoli, manager of the Federcaccia. “After that first meeting, no one was seen again. The breeding season has therefore begun, in a while the pine forest will come alive with tourists from Ravenna and therefore nothing can be done. We will talk about it again in October or November ".
That this regional plan was not born under the best star is also denoted by the response that the regional councilor Alessio Mammi gave in Regional Assembly two days ago on an interrogation. In the conclusions, he said that “the competent offices are working on the procedures to ban the expression of interest in identifying the private recipients of the captured fallow deer but, given the complexity of the operation and the need to protect the multiple interests represented, it is not possible at the moment to precisely define a deadline for its publication ".
The plan for the fallow deer in the Classe pine forest - whose number is a kind of state secret: 250 officially, no less than 600 for those who frequent the pinewood habitats, the Ortazzo and Ortazzino with lots of video testimonies - is based on the capture of a certain number of specimens and their sale in areas compatible with their habitat or to private individuals who have requirements to keep them. The capture is already problematic because it is necessary to take into account the death of specimens for the too much adrenaline in circulation, but at this point it is not even known when to issue a tender to entrust them to private individuals. “I fear the problem is political and not technical.
The aim is to buy time so as not to adopt solutions that may displease some political force. So the problem goes back, without even attracting the interest of the fallow deer and of the users of the pine forest ”concludes Miccoli. Also in the answer given by Mammi it is explained that the installation of prevention systems and signs that indicate in an incisive way the danger of crossing animals is carried out by Province, Municipality and Anas, owners of the roads affected by the movement of deer. This will be discussed at the next incident (Il Resto del Carlino).
