In the province of Caserta, about 140 thousand buffaloes have been killed in the last 10 years to contain the brucellosis epidemic
In the last decade in Campania there has been a real slaughter of buffaloes to contain the brucellosis emergency: they are about 140 thousand specimens culled. What is baffling is the fact that the vast majority of the animals killed were perfectly healthy. Only 1,3% of the animals tested positive for the diagnostic test for the infectious disease which mainly affects cattle, sheep, goats and pigs (but which can be transmitted to humans through the ingestion of infected food such as unboiled milk and its derivatives or through direct contact with the infected animal).
The one that occurred in the province of Caserta it is a useless and avoidable massacre, as confirmed by the breeders' associations that have been in open conflict with the Campania Region for some time. The latter is about to launch a new plan that will lead to the killing of other healthy animals, instead of proposing alternative solutions.
For the movement Other agriculture this situation can no longer be tolerated. For this reason he has decided to present a warning, at the Prosecutor of Santa Maria Capua Vetere, to the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza. The goal is to prevent the technical table from being held between the Ministry of Health and the Campania Region, scheduled for next 22 December, during which the Government will give the okay to the new regional plan to contain the epidemic.

The shocking data on the over one hundred thousand unjustified killing orders of healthy Caserta buffaloes that the ASL Caserta was forced to deliver to the breeders' lawyers and to the Santa Maria Capua Vetere Prosecutor's Office cry out for revenge - thunders Gianni Fabris, national spokesman for Altragricoltura and before that it is too late, that De Luca and Caputo (Councilor for Agriculture of the Campania Region) can replicate with a regional plan photocopy of those preceding the massacre of buffaloes and companies, Minister Speranza, indeed the ministers Speranza and Patuanelli, have the duty to intervene and stop this havoc that perhaps will benefit someone but certainly not these precious animals, breeders, related workers and, above all, consumers. We have asked for an urgent meeting and we have warned the national authorities to give the green light to any eradication plan without a confrontation with the farmers who have until now been denied any possibility to perform counter-diagnosis before the mass culling by sending them to the slaughterhouse together. to their healthy leaders.
The solution to the indiscriminate killing of buffaloes exists and is the vaccine, but the Campania Region at the moment does not seem to have any intention of accepting the demands of the world of breeders. And now the Caserta buffalo sector, known all over the world for the production of buffalo mozzarella DOP, is now on its knees.
Thousands of buffaloes sentenced to death due to misdiagnosis
For Caserta breeders, the strategy to combat brucellosis followed by the Campania Region was a failure from all points of view. In the Caserta area, thousands of buffaloes were sentenced to death due to misdiagnosis, made with methods unsuitable for this species. There have been too many cases of "positive phases" and many perfectly healthy hoaxes have been at the expense, as revealed by the recent investigation "Bufale Connection", conducted by the editorial staff of Fanpage.com.
“We are increasingly convinced, together with the TAR and the Council of State, that all sorts of things have happened in the last 10 years. While we prepare the response in the ways of mobilization, we ask for truth, justice, and above all the correct application of European standards, of the OIE protocols, and the absolute and true (not to talk about) sharing the choices with the breeders ”adds Gianni Fabbris.
