No to propaganda
Following the press release issued by the Five Star Movement regarding the changes to the Tuscany Wildlife and Hunting Plan , Arci Caccia analyzed the main demands: "Just to bring matters back to the right level of sobriety and clear the air of the propaganda that many seem to like so much. It boils down to generic references in the introduction to the contribution of environmental associations to management. We remind you that environmentalists should rightfully sit on the most important bodies, the ATC management committees. Something they have refused to do for years."
Fixed stalking
"The only mention of hides is for Natura 2000 areas, with mandatory Vinca (already required at present and for which a simplified procedure seems sufficient) and a limit of 0,8 hides per square kilometer (only 19 of over 200 areas are saturated). Change of ownership of hides is, however, guaranteed. The ban on hunting migratory birds (and other species) in mountain passes has been in effect since 1994, the year Law 3 came into force. The innovation is incomprehensible. The limit on the capture of foxes from their dens for hunting (uncontrolled) is not only wrong, it's ridiculous. The rhetoric about protecting cubs, technically and scientifically grotesque in any season, is incomprehensible in a month when mating hasn't yet begun."
Infringement procedure
The European Biodiversity Strategy calls for "Expansion of Protected Areas: Legal protection of at least 30% of European and Italian land and 30% of European and Italian seas by 2030. At least one-third of these areas (10% of the total) must be subject to a rigorous protection regime." The plan refers to this legislation, which must be applied with the range of protections provided by European regulations. While waiting for the moratorium to expire, which in seven years will apparently definitively eliminate lead ammunition, the Plan provides for a gradual process for replacing livestock destined for the supply chain with monolithic ammunition and reiterates the ban contained in the REACH regulation on the use of lead ammunition in wetlands within the Natura 2000 Network areas. The interpretation (more favorable to the hunting world) of the Italian legislation was the subject of infringement proceedings and has been adapted to the regulation. Fortunately, the obligation provided for by the legislation and implemented in the plan limits the ban to specially mapped areas, allowing hunters to hunt at the earliest opportunity. “repair of complications”.
