False information
«I categorically deny the totally unfounded news regarding an alleged extension of the wild boar hunting in Lazio until February 28th. The regional hunting calendar, in compliance with Law 157/1992, provides for the closure of hunting on January 31, 2026, a date that remains fully confirmed. The spread of this false information has generated confusion and alarm, also creating the risk that hunters may hunt in February, thus exposing themselves to severe penalties under current legislation. This is the statement from Giancarlo Righini, Councilor for Agriculture, Hunting, and Budget of the Lazio Region.
Swine fever
The situation is different for the northern regions affected by the ASF, for which there are specific provisions in Ordinance 7/2025 of the Extraordinary Commissioner related to the health emergency, from which Lazio emerged on January 22 of last year. To ensure accurate information for citizens, ATCs, hunting associations, and hunters, I urge everyone to disseminate this official communication as widely as possible.
Complaint-lawsuit in sight
I also inform you that the Lazio Region has already activated legal procedures to file a complaint against those who spread biased and unfounded news, which risks causing damage and confusion on an issue regulated with great care and responsibility.
