"Compensation for companies that have suffered damage e capture plans: we have been supporting it for years, together with many trade associations. Our battle in support of the many breeders who, more and more often, are suffering the consequences of wolf attacks it has always been conducted with firmness and without concessions to an animalism as easy as it is misunderstood. It is also for this reason that we have finally managed to break through the regional system pushing him to accept some of our ideas and proposals.
However, it is necessary not to give up on the catching side ”. To say it is the senator Fdi and group leader in the Agriculture Commission, Patrick La Pietra, always at the forefront of the issue, which illustrates the most recent measures. According to what has been announced, the Tuscany Region would in fact intend to compensate farms with sheep, goat, bovine, buffalo, equine, donkey and pig breeding for damage from predation caused by attacks by wolves (canis lupus), predations of the year 2020. Aid should be granted both for direct damage (reimbursement of the market value of the predated animal) and indirect (veterinary costs related to the treatment of injured animals).
“Well the indemnities, finally. Although, in any case, it is necessary to encourage breeders by means of simple procedures and reimbursements at least identical to the total damage suffered, in order to avoid that you spend more to receive the contribution than you receive. But don't stop there. A serious plan is needed in order to substantially reduce the number of predators - recalls La Pietra -. We are talking about a capture plan and not just a culling plan as we believe that the wolf must be safeguarded, even if not at the price of make the consequences fall on companies and the territory. Our proposals are concrete and common sense. Plans are needed to reduce the number, veterinary and disposal costs to be paid by the Region, compensation for the loss of the head killed to replenish the flocks ”, La Pietra repeats.
