Gli Alpaca dell'Etna

<div class="text-justify">

In una delle nostre classiche passeggiate nel territorio Etneo, esattamente lungo la strada denominata *"quota mille"* ci siamo imbattuti in queste strane creature...

Alle falde dell'Etna a circa 1500Mt. sul livello del mare c'è qualcuno che sta provando ad allevare questi animali.

Onestamente non avevo mai visto un Alpaca dal vivo quindi, dunque ci siamo avvicinati con cautela per ammirarlo meglio e incuriositi abbiamo chiesto ad un uomo che si trovava nei pressi qualche delucidazione riguardo questi simpatici esseri.

Ci spiega che è proprio lui ad allevarli, e che alla stregua delle pecore producono dell'ottima lana. I suoi Alpaca scorrazzano liberi durante il giorno nei campi antistanti la sua proprietà e che rientrano all'ovile autonomamente dopo essersi saziati delle erbe del posto.

Ci dice che la fibra prodotta dal manto dell'alpaca è considerata tra le più rinomate del mercato tessile. Questa viene dapprima lavata e  poi cardata come avviene con le pecore insomma.

La lana di alpaca è fine e al contempo estremamente robusta, queste caratteristiche  gli conferiscono delle proprietà uniche come ad esempio un'elevata capacità termica mantenendo morbidezza e resistenza.

Queste qualità l'hanno resa molto richiesta dai clienti e dunque dai venditori/produttori di abbigliamento.
Addirittura, ci ha detto che la fibra di alpaca è tre volte più forte di quella delle pecore e sette volte più calda!!!
E questo è dovuto al fatto che rispetto la classica lana è molto più isolante. In più è naturalmente impermeabile!!!

Che dire, tutti a comprare maglioni di alpaca a questo punto... non sapevo che sull'Etna si allevassero queste creature e mi ha piacevolmente stupito con quanta passione, benevolenza ed entusiasmo l'allevatore parlasse dei suoi animali, forse in fondo esiste ancora qualche buona persona che tratta gli animali con la dignità e il rispetto che gli si deve.

I love alpacas! Gorgeous pictures. I wish I was there now petting alpacas and looking at those mountains.
