“Now only a few days go by winery company do not turn to us for help against continuing bouts of roe deer and other ungulates. The measure is now really full and those with government responsibilities, from the Region to the Minister of Agriculture must intervene. Or take responsibility for saying that they don't care about our work and our investments and our employees ", so Ritano Baragli, president of the Cantina Sociale Colli Fiorentini and vice president of FedAgriPesca Confcooperative Toscana, relaunches the alarm on the holding of the wine sector of Tuscany attacked by animals.
“No politician seems to want to hear the truth - adds Baragli - but the data is alarming. Our research shows that now beyond the 40% of production is damaged or irremediably compromised. There are cases, most recently that of the farmer Maurizio Bonifazi who has a farm in Catigliano in the Municipality of Gambassi Terme, who has reported that it has already lost 85% of its product.
It is evident that for us it is a mockery when we listen to the institutions to use verbs in the future again: we will see, think, study, do. We need an intervention here and now, because here and now is the moment in which the plants sprout and the rooted cuttings are continually prey to the roe deer. with the result that entire productions are ending up in the bellies of these animals made to grow out of all proportion so as to completely change the right natural balance of Flora and fauna. That equilibrium is rebuilt and this must be taken care of by those who occupy the seats of politics ”.
