Chestnut producers in the village of Cova de Lua, in the district of Bragança, have complained about the destruction of more than 100 chestnut trees caused by deer. The animals have been causing significant damage to the region's crops.
The Institute for Conservation of Nature and Forests (ICNF) authorized the culling of deer, but the animals were not actually hunted, leaving the problem unresolved for the local producers.
PAN (People-Animals-Nature) condemned the situation and announced it will question the Government about the lack of action. The party advocates for the need to find a balance between animal protection and the damages caused to farmers.
The situation directly affects the chestnut producers in the village, who see their trees and crops destroyed without effective measures having been taken to solve the deer problem in the region.
