The decision was made after the Forestry Corps and the Carabinieri completed a large anti-poaching operation. Military and forestry workers discovered an organization that illegally traded game and was active in Venzone and Pontebba. The criminals were capable of slaughtering roe deer, deer and chamois and then resell the meat in the Veneto area.
The local hunting world intervened because these activities damage the fauna and the image of honest hunters, respectful of the levies and quotas assigned and careful to select the right game based on age and period. Poachers, on the other hand, do not respect any norms and they hunt at night while the animals graze. The objective of the legal action is precisely to point out the difference between hunting and poaching, a distance that many have been widening in recent weeks.
