Due to the increasingly mild winters in Italy, many species of migratory birds no longer migrate south but stay in warm Rome. Animals hibernate in the trees of the Italian capital because they continue to find mosquitoes, flies and other insects to feed on in Rome.
Animal rights activists called for strict measures against the New Year’s Eve blast. “Even if a ban on firecrackers has been imposed in Italy, this is not observed. The result is that massive animals die every year on New Year’s Eve. Many pets are injured. This massacre must be stopped,” protested Massimo Comparotto , president of the Oipa animal welfare association. .
New Years celebrations in Corona conditions resulted in significantly fewer injuries and deaths in Italy than in previous years. The reason was the strict exit restrictions nationwide. Firecracker bans like those issued for Rome, Palermo, Florence, and Milan, among others, were often ignored. According to media reports, a 13-year-old boy was probably killed by a firecracker in Asti, in northern Italy.
