" We have reports of damage from all over the region, which shows that the situation is out of control ", says Ercole Zuccaro, director of Confagricoltura Piemonte .
A new source of concern comes from the excessive proliferation of roe deer : whole herds of young animals target the vineyards of the hilly areas of Piedmont, peeling the tender and particularly palatable vine shoots for this species. The damage produced is significant: this year's harvest is compromised in the plots affected.
While these events are occurring - the top management of Confagricoltura point out - we read that along the rack that leads from Sassi to Superga the Non Conventional Animal Center of the Veterinary Sciences Department which operates in agreement with the Metropolitan City of Turin with the service "Save them together on the road "intervened to treat an injured roe deer. " We appreciate the sensitivity of the public body - declares the president of Confagricoltura Piemonte Enrico Allasia - but at the same time we ask for immediate action to limit the damage from wild to crops, to reduce road accidents and to avoid the risk of transmission of African swine fever , conveyed by wild boars ".
