The announcement that culling will begin tomorrow, which is anything but selective—all animals present in the outbreaks, even healthy ones, will be put down—has further increased tension in the countryside, especially in central Sardinia .

In the hinterland of Nuoro, from Orani to Orotelli, the first and also the last cases – the list is ever longer – of lumpy skin disease in cattle have been recorded.

A meeting has been called in Orotelli for Wednesday, attended by local administrators, as well as representatives from other municipalities, breeders, trade associations, and experts.

The meeting, organized by the municipality, is at 11 a.m. at the Franco Pintus multipurpose center.

Tensions in the countryside are sky-high . The decision to cull not only sick but also healthy animals has made the situation explosive.

Tomorrow morning in Benetutti, a dozen cattle are scheduled to be slaughtered. The operation was scheduled a few days ago but was then postponed following protests from farmers.
