The statement is without foundation: just verify that in the great plain of Hungary, a country with a predominantly agricultural economy, where the shaggy suidae actually reach 300 kg in weight, the peasants do not protest under the prefectures, nor do animals frequent supermarket parking lots, city streets or public gardens.
And so in most of the Central European countries. Countries where, for centuries, hunting has almost always been anchored to a qualitative-quantitative sampling and is based on a considerable knowledge of the state of the fauna (adult males of deer can even be given a name). In our peninsula, on the other hand, we know nothing, or almost nothing, about the arrogant wild boars.
We do not even know how many are culled every year, given that the only data on hunting wildlife management (with the exceptions of deer and bovids, where collected), in fact, are the hunting leaflets, sorry, the hunting cards on which to mark the hunted animals. .
Except for a few studies, with scarce and very localized data, we do not have the real contents to fill the boxes of population dynamics, densities, structure, and so on with all the other biological parameters of the wild boar.
Knowing is the step that allows you to manage. If there is no knowledge, there can be no management. And, in fact, where the hunting tradition, built on hauptjagd, that is, on the hunting of ungulates and large carnivores, by intrinsic necessity, he has built a valid management, in our country, the wandering and casual hunting of small sedentary or migratory fauna has not laid the foundations for either the hunting culture or for the management one. .
It is provocative, but very true, to argue that hunting, in Italy, still consists, for the most part, in going out with the rifle on the shoulder in the hope of casually shooting at some animal. The icon of the hunting Sunday of the rag. Fantozzi has only lost the numerical dimension, given that the number of practitioners has dropped (mostly due to "natural causes") but the quality has not changed. The annual number of accidents is a proof of this.
