Strong protests by environmentalists after the decision to kill about 200 birds from the Monte Urpinu park in Cagliari following the discovery of some dead peacocks and the ascertained presence of the avian flu virus.
What was established by the ASL did not appeal to many citizens who in recent years saw ducks, geese and other birds circulate freely in the great green lung of the city.
“Killing cannot be the universal solution to these problems. The right to life is also for the animals of Monte Urpinu - supports the anti-vivisection League (Lav) of Cagliari - There are other solutions, not bloody and perfectly applicable and effective as in the analogous case of the Chico Mendes Park in Campi Bisenzio where the animals have been isolated and no one was shot down. "
Today at 16.30, to support the "no" to the killing , a garrison has been planned in front of the Belvedere entrance of the Monte Urpinu park.
The ecological association Grig, a group of legal intervention, also intervened on the case, which speaks of a " slaughter to avert the risk of a cold " and forwarded to the competent public administrations a specific request for civic access and environmental information "to understand the actual areas of a rather singular outbreak of avian flu. Just think of the banal question: how did it get there in the municipal park of Monte Urpinu, given the absence of significant risks in Sardinia indicated by the national surveillance plan? ".
