The appeal of the Province of Biella had an important response: as reported by The print, in fact, the president Emmanuel Ramella in the last few hours he had turned to hunters and hunting associations, asking a greater commitment to tackle the problem of wild boars in this part of Piedmont. The regulation governing the killing of ungulates has undergone changes not long ago, in particular the number of dogs that can be used has increased compared to past years. There have been numerous enrollments of volunteer hunters and their effective use is now expected in the course of animal containment actions. As explained by John Caristia, number one ofTerritorial area of Biella hunting 1, the training evenings to deepen the issues related to safety have ended and have registered a good participation, specifically 65 people.
The total has even doubled compared to what happened in 2015, so you can guess the growth of interest in this hunting levy. Furthermore, the indications provided by the ATC to improve the results were accepted. The plan can be revised and modified, any problems will be remedied in time. Caristia recalled another fundamental appointment. On April 15th, in fact, the selection hunt from fixed stalking will begin and participation can already be defined as important, with a dozen selecters compared to five twelve months ago.
In recent years, the culls have not given the desired results due to some gaps that now seem to have been filled: it is not just the small number of hunters involved, but also of the assignment to each subject of precise parts of the territory in which to carry out the activity, an improvement that will serve to avoid unnecessary and harmful overlaps. Caristia referred to “pasturings aimed at killing”. The selection hunt will have a very specific calendar, with five days of the week and until next September, then it will resume for two months at the beginning of January 2017.
The current hope is that the crows, crows and foxes control plan quickly (they are known as "opportunistic" animals). The Territorial Areas of Hunting and the Biellese associations expect serious containment actions and effective legislative instruments: up to now, however, the repopulations of pheasants and hares have been jeopardized and compromised by the excessive number of foxes, as emerged from the reconnaissance of operators at night. After the appeal and the prompt response of the hunters, the time has come for the actual killing.
