Liguria officials call for wolf control after breeder hospitalized

In the Liguria region of Italy, local officials and representatives from the Biodistretto Val di Vara are calling for urgent action following a wolf attack in Zeri. An animal breeder was hospitalized after encountering two wolves while attempting to defend her flock.

Alessandro Triantafyllidis and Michela Marcone of the Biodistretto Val di Vara emphasized that this incident should not be dismissed as an isolated event. They are advocating for increased prevention, support for livestock farmers, and population control conducted by specialized personnel. The group noted that recent attacks, including the killing of two calves in Sesta Godano, highlight the need to balance wildlife protection with the safety of people and the viability of local farming in fragile territories.
