Just 3 votes in favor e 25 against. The result of the review of the agenda presented by Movement 5 Stars in Liguria region it is clear: the goal of the pentastellates was to protect migratory birds in the whole territory, deleting from the list of huntable species those at risk of extinction due to pollution, poaching and hunting. The greatest risk according to this odg was that related to rock partridges, pochards, lapwings, wild doves and stone thrushes.
This means that the order was rejected and the species will remain in the Ligurian hunting calendar. Also the Regional Councilor for Agriculture, Stefano Mai, had expressed a negative opinion on the matter, underlining the absence of the risk of extinction and the drafting of the calendar based on very serious scientific and regulatory assessments. The 5 Star Movement felt the pinch and complained of being left alone and remembering the damage caused by poaching in Italy.
Furthermore, the M5S pointed out the alleged culling of over 500 thousand migratory specimens between 2015 and 2017 in Liguria and at an expense of 180 thousand euros per year. Not many days ago the same Mai had decided to extend wild boar hunting trips in Liguria until January 30, 2019, a solution deemed appropriate to complete the plans and withdrawals.
