Protection of public safety
Edit the Control Plan fox so that the set objectives, linked to the protection of public safety but also of biodiversity and zoo-agro-forestry production "can be realistically achieved". The Civic Network asked this in an interpellation. The Plan was approved with a council resolution dated 5 February 2024, recalls the questioning councillor, who points out that "the hunting and agricultural associations sent their observations well in advance in order to improve the awaited resolution being renewed, but their suggestions were not taken into consideration, nor was the content of the resolution shared in advance".
Non-toxic ammunition
The Civic Network highlights some critical issues such as "the use of non-toxic ammunition, which does not shatter but tends to ricochet, and since the activity is often carried out on plains and along river banks, the danger that they will not stop becomes very high ", shooting with the aid of a light source from a vehicle, permitted from one hour after sunset until midnight, a condition which "effectively prevents hunting, given that in summer the days are notoriously longer". Finally, the problem of the burrows created by burrowing animals is underlined: "if, however, the activity can only be started after a specific investigation by the Provincial Police, following the prior reporting of the operators, essentially the timing of these administrative steps determines the inoperability of the Slowly”, specifies the councilor.
Defense of the banks
The Agriculture Councilor responded in the classroom. “The observations of the stakeholders were taken into due consideration when drafting the plan. The previous plan was the starting point: furthermore, we managed to obtain a positive opinion from Ispra to introduce new methods to defend the banks, such as the use of tracking dogs to prevent them from settling in dens. An important result that will allow more effective interventions. There is a willingness to continue the discussion and make further corrections if necessary, after an initial period of operation of the plan". “I welcome the fact that the region declares itself willing to discuss and implement changes, a sign that we are moving in the desired direction”, concluded Rete civica declaring itself satisfied (source: Emilia Romagna Region).
