PISA – “Armed” with placards, flags and banners, a delegation of Pisan entrepreneurs participated in Rome, together with Coldirettiat the demonstration to ask for “A plan of extraordinary culls to reduce the population of wild boars“.

“We cultivate, the wild boars collect”, “Enough damage and fear” we read about some exhibits by farmers who also brought life-size shapes of wild boars to piazza Santi Apostoli “To concretely demonstrate – what they explain by Coldiretti – boar them in front of you on the street, in the fields or in front of one’s home “and the typical Made in Italy products” which risk disappearing due to swine fever which affects pigs but not humans “.

“The battle against the ungulate emergency – he comments Fabrizio Filippi, president Coldiretti Pisa and Tuscany – has been going on for years with four national events and many at regional and provincial level. Thanks to our press and the availability of the Tuscany Region, Tuscany has approved a resolution that makes important changes to the owner’s belt population control plan, directly and immediately, but only if equipped with a gun license under the coordination provincial police but it is evident not to be sufficient to cope with a constantly increasing number. The uncontrolled presence of wildlife favors the abandonment of our countryside, creates calculable damage to production and represents a problem for safety and health. We are calling for a serious eradication plan. We use the army, if necessary, for the situation to restore to normality and defend agricultural enterprises from the calamity of wild boars and roe deer “.

“At the end of the long morning – the association said – the first response arrived with the commitment from the Undersecretary of Health Andrea Costa, who announced an order immediately for the killing on the national territory and the extension of the hunting activity “.

“Refreshments are not the solution that farmers advocate; – concludes the president Filippi – the solution is the restoration of normality. Enough ideological approaches ”.
