On the side of the hunters
“Today wild boars have become a safety and environmental emergency.” Thus the regional councilor of Basilicata, Gianuario Aliandro, who underlines: “We must have the determination to be on the side of citizens, hunters and those who constantly suffer dangers and damage to crops”. “On the other hand, the killing of these animals – continues Aliandro – does not cause any environmental damage, unlike the agricultural sector which continues to suffer from this situation.
Eradication plan
Although the Regional Council of Basilicata has intended to promote measures under the Plan for the eradication and management of the wild boar species, also by increasing the practice of hunting and the destruction of carcasses, which has not yet begun. It is necessary that the abatement plan of the extraordinary commissioner, Caputo, is implemented and implemented. I am referring, in particular, to the infected areas in protected areas, in particular the area of the Lucanian Apennines Park, where it is evidently necessary to open hunting and derogate from the periods foreseen for the same".
Turn and control
“I am here – says Aliandro – to appeal to the Regional Council, in the persons of councilors Fanelli, Galella and Latronico and, also, to the governance of the Lucanian Apennines Park, because I continue to maintain that only felling through endorsement and selective control by hunters, can concretely help us limit the overpopulation of ungulates, especially in the red zones. The municipalities, in concert with the territorial hunting areas, have made and are continuing to do so, all the energy to implement the planned measures, but it is necessary to broaden the field of actions through provisional acts that increase the possibilities of intervention against this emergency . The safety of citizens to whom we have the duty to provide urgent solutions is at stake" (source: Basilicata Region).
