In recent days the Metropolitan City of Florence approved the new Regulation for the coordination of voluntary supervision and for the recognition of hunting security guard. EPS (Game Producers Authority) Tuscany expresses surprise and regret both for the method used, since there has been no consultation with the hunting associations, and on the merits, since a series of criteria that penalize the numerous hunting guards who voluntarily lend their work every day for the protection of the environment, the wildlife management of the territory, and the collaboration with private institutes.
Lowering of the age limit for the performance of the services, annual medical examinations and shooting tests, increase in compulsory hours of service, are some of the innovations that will prevent many Volunteer guards from continue to lend their work. A regulation that must necessarily be corrected in the opinion of the Confederation of Tuscan Hunters.
In this regard, the CCT has agreed and scheduled a meeting with the representatives of the Metropolitan City to present, through a delegation of the confederate associations, requests for urgent changes to an act that is likely to hinder and demean a fundamental activity such as surveillance, both on the territory and in public and private faunal institutes.
