The Pordenon municipal councillor with responsibilities for animal welfare has issued an appeal in favour of swallows to prevent their nests from being destroyed. She has invited citizens to report those who destroy swallow nests, emphasising that such actions are a crime, with those responsible potentially facing charges of damage, mistreatment, and even killing of animals. The appeal comes after numerous reports according to which some people do not want the nests in the city. This is above all about controlling the situation in certain condominiums and houses, where some individuals, to avoid having to deal with a bit of mess, try to drive away the swallows — vital for the ecosystem — with reckless behaviour. This year, based on the latest census, it seems that a few more swallows have returned, with fifteen nests counted compared to four last year, although just five years ago, there were over forty nests.
