Il 2017 ended less than two weeks ago and you can already make a balance as regards the hunting season in province of Biella. According to the number one of the local authority, Emanuele Ramella Pralungo, the results were not at all satisfactory, especially in the context of the containment of wild boars. If 2016 specimens were culled in 539, last year it fell to share 310, almost half (43% less to be exact).
Furthermore, the damage to crops would have increased, reaching more than 300 thousand euros in compensation (almost double compared to 2016). The numbers were obtained from the minutes reported by the ASL, consequently the provincial measures should be discounted. The most popular hypothesis is that a part of Biella hunters is against the new rules, with the suitable areas that have passed by 5 to 7.
However, there is no lack of reconstruction according to which the hunting world voluntarily omitted the tracing of the slaughtered heads. Ramella Pralungo explained how hunters should understand that the territory is not an area of theirs, now we must take responsibility because the accounts do not add up. Finally, we return to talk about the possible involvement of teams of hunters from outside Biella, specifically from Turin.
