At least a dozen roes, in the last two nights, they were attacked and torn to pieces by wolves. Not in the areas where the large carnivore has been at home for some years, i.e. the upper valley and the Mezzalone, but in lower valley, on the right Noce, in the wooded area overlooking the apple orchards between Tuenno and Campodenno. "It happened in the locality of Paluzar, between Cunevo and Flavon, and also in Terres", testifies Fabrizio Dolzani, former councilor of Flavon, now merged in the municipality of Contà. "Wolves were not often seen here, there was a transition last spring, but now it's more serious. The word has spread, people are afraid to take a walk, here are the Margherita path, the small lake, right in the area beaten by wolves in these last days. As if that weren't enough - adds Dolzani - whoever walks by and encounters the torn carcasses is shaken ».
On the spot she went there Forest, according to which the hunt would be due to two specimens, not to a herd, but this does not diminish the alarm that has been created. Moreover it must be said that the nonese herds are not numerous: they are composed on average from 4-5 animals, often parents with puppies, or with grown-up grown-ups who remain part of the herd and renounce to set up their own. Collections of voices, there is concern in the area, and according to many it is right that information should be given about what happened. Certainly there are the carcasses of the mangled ungulates, which have come down to the valley in search of food, since the snow has reduced their food supplies at high altitude.
Three found their deaths inside a fence to protect an orchard, in the Terres area: no chance of escape, the wolves had an easy time, as their prey slammed into the fences and remained within range of their fangs. Others precisely in the locality of Paluzar, between Flavon and Cunevo. Six carcasses have been recovered so far, but apparently, given the bloody streaks left imprinted on the snow, the victims are at least a dozen. "It all happened in a couple of nights, over the last three days," confirms a citizen of the area who went to the places of the attacks. "People don't care if there were two or four wolves in action, it matters that going for a walk can lead you to a close encounter with these carnivores, even if they don't attack you it's not a pleasant encounter.
Just as it is not pleasant to find a roe deer torn to pieces on the path… ». From what has been confirmed, it appears that the wooded area overlooking the apple orchards, in the area, has become a hunting area for the feared canid, which for some years has returned to the valley, and which has already caused fears along the slopes of the Maddalene and its surroundings, where the carcasses of mangled ungulates and sightings, even near inhabited centers, they are no longer counted. Probably in those parts the "food reserves" have decreased, and the wolves have decided to go further downstream. "Between bears and wolves, you can't live here anymore", comments an elderly person, summarizing the fears of people who would love to take a walk in peace, without the risk of meeting large predators, harmless to humans, perhaps, but not welcome guests for a close encounter (The Adige).
