DOMAGNANO – New attack by wolves in the Piandavello area, where a donkey was mauled and two pregnant donkeys were injured while they were grazing. It’s not the first time this has happened it had already happened exactly one year ago. The animals belong to the breeding of Giuseppe Guidiwhich returns to denounce the difficulties linked to predation.
The donkey killed was a Romagnola breed, ranked second at the national breed auction in Italy. The two injured females, of the Ragusan breed, are both pregnant in their fifth month. “We hope that they have not suffered such trauma as to cause an abortion,” says the breeder.
After the losses already recorded last year, Guidi is considering interrupting the breeding project also linked to the family’s educational farm. “At this point I’m thinking of retiring him permanently. Maybe we’ll keep one or two subjects, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult to move forward in these conditions.”
The farmer also complains about the lack of answers regarding compensation and that he was not even called for a discussion regarding the animals lost last year. “We do not yet know how much any compensation for animals lost last year will be, nor have we had clear indications of their value.”
The episode brings attention to the problem of predation and the need to guarantee greater protection for farms, with clear and timely compensation procedures.
