After the complaint presented yesterday in the Public Prosecutor's Office by the Mayor of Rome, Virginia Rages, against the Lazio Region regarding the wild boar management in urban areas, the response from the regional government arrived, which through a note wanted to remind "once again that the responsibility of the animals that are found outside the parks is in the hands of the municipalities. It is therefore up to the local administrators to intervene to contain the presence of animals on the roads and in the city in order to safeguard the safety of the community ”, states the Region. In the press release "it is also clarified that as established in the link approved by the Regional Council in the first days of August, the abatement plans they are implemented by the dependent guards of the provinces and of the metropolitan city of Rome Capital.
And that the animals captured and / or killed during the control operations remain at the disposal and at the expense of the person who carried out the intervention. Finally, in recent years, the continuous presence of waste in the urban area of Rome is certainly a factor that has favored the presence of the species, offering individuals the trophic resources necessary to reproduce more effectively”, Concludes the note. “The Lazio Region is in default in the preparation of management plans relating to wildlife. According to Article 19 of the national law 157/92, in fact, it is the Regions that must provide for the control of wildlife species also in no hunting areas”, The rejoinder from the Capitol.
“The massive and uncontrolled presence of wild boars in Rome is therefore a direct consequence of the failure of the Lazio Region to foresee and implement effective management plans - continues the Capitoline administration -. Furthermore, the Lazio Region is in default of the Memorandum of Understanding signed with the metropolitan city of Rome and with Roma Capitale which provides that it is precisely the Region itself that must prepare management plans in the areas falling within the territory of Roma Capitale and that it must identify regional structures capable of receiving live animals, captured in the context of numerical control activities ".
Dear Mayor Raggi; Excuse me if I allow myself if your M5S party, with the living room animals, did NOT get in the way whenever the hunters proposed the killing of urbanized wild boars, maybe things would have gone differently !!!
