Lombard farmers take to the streets of Milan with their tractors to denounce the emergency of wildlife in Lombardy, starting with wild boars. The appointment is for tomorrow, Tuesday 18 June 2024 from 9.30 am in Milan in Piazza Duca d’Aosta, in front of the Central station, where hundreds of farmers and breeders will meet to denounce with their painful experiences an out of control situation that is causing health, social, economic and environmental problems. Alongside the farmers, together with the president of the regional Coldiretti Gianfranco Comincioli, also mayors and representatives of the institutions. Led by the confederal delegate Giovanni Benedetti and the director Giovanni Roncalli, a large delegation of farmers from Coldiretti Cremona and representatives of the Cremona area will be present, including various mayors.
Wild animals transmit diseases, destroy food production, exterminate crops, besiege fields – underlines Coldiretti Cremona – they cause road accidents with deaths and injuries and reach into urban centers where they scratch around in the waste with dangers to health and safety of people.
For the occasion, an exhibition will be set up with the devastated productions and the products put at risk by the unchecked advance of the wild boars.
A situation that has now exceeded the limit with exasperated farmers who, in addition to wild boars, have to deal with the incursions and devastation caused by otters and other wild and invasive species.
