Among the novelties, the increase in the number of animals that can be killed for some species that generally cause serious damage when in excess, including wild boar, mini-hare, jay, magpie and jackdaw, both gray and black; Furthermore, on the basis of the previous censuses carried out, the selective harvesting plans for roe deer were outlined.
The Regional Councilor for Agriculture, Claudio Sacchetto, commented on the issue, "Pending a new Regional Hunting Law, on which we will work intensely so that we can reach the goal of a modern regulation in line with that of the neighboring Regions, The new hunting calendar for next season was approved in the morning.
Continuing, the commissioner then added "Law 157/1992, in compliance with state and European directives, allows a greater range of action, especially as regards those species which, in excess, cause heavy damage to agricultural crops, not to mention the danger on the roads due to the numerous crossings, especially at night.
Finally Sacchetti concluded, “Each choice has been thoroughly considered with the aim of introducing legislation capable of regulating wildlife management in a balanced way. Hunters, I repeat once again, are respectable people who, by following the rules, will actively contribute to the conservation of the environment, rendering service to the community ".
Obviously, the controversies could not be missing in relation to which the regional councilor Eleonora Artesio gave a voice, who thus attacked, "The Giunta and the councilor Sacchetto have not taken into consideration the requests of the Referendum Committee but have disregarded the contents of the agreement in the center-right majority that made it possible to circumvent the referendum ”.
