Two hundred dogs killed by wolves in two years: terrified mayors and hunters write to election candidates for help
Mayors and hunters have written a letter to the candidates in the upcoming regional elections in Lazio, asking for help in tackling the problem of wolf attacks on dogs.
The letter, which was sent to all the candidates, highlights the growing problem of wolf attacks in the Lazio region, which have seen over 200 dogs killed in the past two years.
The letter says that the attacks are causing "great concern" among the population, and that the candidates need to take action to address the problem.
The letter asks the candidates to:
- Increase the number of rangers in the region to monitor the wolf population and prevent attacks.
- Provide financial compensation to dog owners who have lost their pets to wolf attacks.
- Work with the national government to develop a national plan to manage the wolf population.
The letter concludes by saying that the candidates have a "moral obligation" to act to protect the people and animals of Lazio from wolf attacks.
The problem of wolf attacks in Italy is a growing one. In the past decade, there have been over 1,000 wolf attacks on dogs in the country.
The attacks are often carried out by young wolves that are looking for food. Wolves are also known to attack dogs that are perceived as a threat to their territory.
The wolf population in Italy has been growing in recent years, due to a number of factors, including the ban on hunting wolves and the increase in the number of wild boar, which are a food source for wolves.
The growth in the wolf population has led to an increase in the number of wolf attacks on dogs and other animals.
The Italian government has taken some steps to address the problem of wolf attacks, including increasing the number of rangers in the country and providing financial compensation to dog owners who have lost their pets to wolf attacks.
However, more needs to be done to address the problem of wolf attacks in Italy. The government needs to work with the regional governments to develop a national plan to manage the wolf population and reduce the number of attacks on dogs and other animals.
