A dead mallard was found resting on the letterbox of an apartment building in Pescate. Mayor Dante De Capitani wants to clarify the episode and understand who is responsible.
«These things must not happen in my country – comments the mayor -. Condominium squabbles and disagreements are one thing, mafia-style warnings like this are another. I have already taken steps to have the animal recovered, a male mallard placed above the mailbox of a condominium in the Torrette hamlet, and delivered to the ATS veterinary service because I want to understand if he was killed or died a natural death. In the first hypothesis, a criminal complaint would also be triggered because the wild animals are owned by the State and entrusted to the mayor. Just yesterday a citizen had reported to me the presence of a dead mallard near the Dolci alle Torrette shop, it could be that someone took it there, but it could also be another specimen. I informed Marshal Casella of the Olginate carabinieri station of the affair because these things must be reported immediately. It could be the work of a deranged person but it could also be something more serious, so I asked for a targeted check in the entire area. A policeman also lives in that condominium and I also live in the immediate vicinity, but I don’t think it’s a message addressed to me because otherwise they could have left the German on my pickup which is always parked outside under my house. In that area which is a side street off Via Roma there are no cameras, the condominiums have asked for them in the past because some cars were targeted by vandals, but after this episode, which I consider serious, we will put them there too”.
