La Environment Committee of the Senate approved an agenda which includes the commitment of the Council of Ministers to evaluate new actions for the control of wolves, taking into account more up-to-date data as regards their presence. The agenda was signed by the vice president of the Group for Autonomies, Frank Panizza, and refers to the numerical increase of this species and its diffusion throughout the Alps.
The goal is to meet the populations of areas most frequented by the animal. Up to now there has been talk of a possible reduction of a quota of up to 5% of the population no earlier than two years, a clarification that had made the Province of Trento replicate. In the Trentino mountains they can contract about twenty specimens, even if the reproductive capacities are remarkable, without forgetting the dispersion in the territory.
Humans are at serious risk, as are livestock and grazing animals. The affair also intervenedAIDAA (Italian Association for the Defense of Animals and the Environment), according to which this vote must be judged very serious and capable of questioning the decision of the State-Regions Conference who had blocked the plan for the management of the wolf.
