Hunting: Piedmont, green light from the Region for the selective containment plan for wild boars; agriculture suffers continuous and serious damage from ungulates, “We will help farmers”.
The Region has given the green light to the selective culling of wild boars in Biella 1 hunting. That is, the one that from the pre-Alpine border descends along the Serra and up to the plains on the edges of the wool province in the direction of Vercelli. The resolution signed by the councilor Sacchetto is already operational and in the coming days the teams will begin to mount the roof terraces, wooden platforms about 3 meters high from which they will shoot the ungulates. The request of the ATC Biella 1, urged by the farmers, was to start with the slaughter from the beginning of the month. It only took a couple more weeks, but in a few days the controlled hunting of boars it will be open every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, at sunrise and sunset until 29 September, the day on which the traditional hunting calendar will be inaugurated. It will not be the usual hunting expeditions. The 12 men selected by the ATC will organize stalking on artificial terraces, placed in the areas close to the crops that have suffered the most damage in recent years, reported by farmers. Operating in maximum safety.
