Primarul comunei Măxineni, Ionuț Postolache, who is also a veterinarian and farmer, emphasizes that the outbreak of sheep and goat pox must be handled without blaming all farmers, calling for transparency and understanding specific to local situations.

He clarifies that sheep pox is not transmissible to humans and that animals in three local collection centers are different from traditional farms, with fluctuations in stock numbers and legal terms for identification.

Postolache stresses that breeders are not responsible for the crisis and urges authorities to provide fair compensation and collaborative measures to stop the disease without harming the traditional livestock sector.
