The proposals made to the Region as members of the Regional Faunal-Hunting Council, have been inspired and evaluated technical-scientific conditions on the species subject to sampling; the Community, national and regional reference standards; including the ordinance of the TAR Calabria with reference to the 2019-2020 Calendar, which has established the rightness of the choices of the Region and therefore of the proposals made last year by the Coordination always in the seat of the Faunal-Hunting Council.
In the light of these premises, the Coordination also for the next imminent hunting season believes that the general layout of the last season's calendar, with a series of updates and additions, which it hopes will be adopted by the Region following the telematic procedure of the Consulta which opened yesterday 6 May and which will end on 13 next year, and that although in this way (due to the limitations for the containment of the Covid-19), however, guarantees the development of a democratic and fruitful confrontation between the parties.
Only with the orderly path conducted in the context of the procedures e in the appropriate ways and times it will be possible to arrive at the formulation of a final document which, in addition to respecting certain technical-scientific rules and principles, allows the carrying out of a hunting season in the name of certainty, profitable and satisfying for hunters and able to guarantee the expectations of the other subjects acting on the territory, first and foremost farmers. On this occasion, the Coordination also confirms that it has long ago made the request to the regional institutions for the resumption of training activities and dog training in the authorized areas, as well as that of the extension of the deadlines for the obligations connected to the performance of the hunting activity - delivery of badges, applications for hunting residency at the AATTCC, etc ... - issues on which a prompt response is urged ".
