The regional councilor Roberto Salvini (Mixed group): «67% of the Tuscan territory is protected, the animals reproduce excessively. It is necessary to intervene immediately »Renews the alarm for the excessive number of ungulates, the Regional Councilor Roberto Salvini (Mixed Group). After the closure of 25 kilometers of motorway on the Firenze Mare, Salvini returns to do the point on the situation.
«With the discomfort caused by this operation along the highway, the large number of existing animals emerges strongly - says the councilor - The excess of protectionism has developed this incredible increase in wild animals in our region. 67% of the Tuscan territory is now protected. The rest, the one used for hunting, is dotted with streets, sheds and houses. If we want to contain the surplus of fauna and bring it back to proper control, it is also necessary to develop hunting in all those protected areas where they now reproduce excessively these animals.
This is to restore a balance between the environment, damage to agriculture and danger for motorists. Coldiretti already speaks of two hundred million damages to crops, thirteen deaths and thousands of accidents on the streets every year. We can no longer postpone an intervention to control the fauna in the area ».
