And he assures that he is one of many that has since been taken. Two severed wolf heads will emerge on Friday In San Juan de Beleño, the day the Governing Council meeting was held there. insults and cursesIn addition to threats The municipal phone, e-mails and social networks also collapse. municipality and council members.
Allegedly, the searches hold the parliament responsible for the criminal act. They also criticize Alonso’s words, defending the pongueto farmers and removing the possibility of them being perpetrators, and reassuring that what happened after denouncing the truth does not “represent” Ponga. At the same time, the mayor insisted, “I need more than just defend him. No one can shut me up about this.” He emphasized that the parliament’s method of dealing with the wolf problem is different. “We are going to court, we are the City Council who registered the appeal against the inclusion of wolves on the Special Conservation Regime (Lespre) Wild Species List”.
“Murderers”, “scumbags”, “cro-magnons” or “ignorant people” are some of the insults received in municipal communications.. Councillor thinks where the attacks came from ecological sectors. “It’s little more than they tell us we have to live with the animals next door,” he said.
Marta Alonso advocated the use of mountains for extensive livestock“The difference is that we advocate for domestic and wild animals, but they (clearly referring to ecologists) only get what interests them and get subsidies,” he said angrily.
Alonso, who studies Environmental Sciences, explained that nowhere does it seem that some animals “have to outdo others.” “I have never seen an environmentalist come to Ponga in eight years as mayor. natural park and biosphere reserve to ask what they can do for the council. None.” He refused to let the “city gentlemen” who work from eight to three “sit down and say nonsense” to tell them how to live in Ponga. “If they have nothing to do, we have a lot of forest to clear, thanks to which their position is as they are, because sheep or goats to clear them there is none. This is madness,” he said.
The councilor argued that Ponga is a natural park and Conservation Area because there have been generations of people “working in the area”. “We are the ones who live here who are most interested in the progress of this,” he said.
