The Carabinieri Forestry Unit of Capaccio Paestum , together with the Prevention Department of the Veterinary Service and the voluntary environmental guards of the Kronos Provincial Unit of Salerno, carried out the seizure of a buffalo farm of approximately 13,000 m2 in Iscarotonda, Eboli, near the Sele River.
The perpetrators were reported for animal cruelty and violation of environmental and urban planning regulations. Unauthorized works were carried out within the buffer zone of the Sele River, including a stable area of approximately 3 square meters and service roads of approximately one thousand square meters, built by dumping waste construction material.
In addition, dumps of sewage and other waste from the livestock were found directly in the riverbed. It was also found that several animals were malnourished to the point of not being able to walk.
We hope that serious measures will be taken against those who mistreat animals and damage the environment.
