On 11 June the hunting calendar of the Campania region is preferably used for hunting season 2019/2020 for which Hunting Federation, as is now the case throughout the national territory, has actively collaborated not only as a point of reference and connection between regional institutions, Ministry of the Environment and ISPRA, but as an important tool for protecting the interests of all hunters, supporting certain positions with certain data and denying attacks from the animal rights and environmentalist world.
Disappointment for the only day of collection authorized in pre-opening for the turtledove species and for the absence of the wood pigeon in pre-opening, but in the absence of scientific data and in the absence of objective evidence relating to the data on the killing indicated by the hunters on the hunting cards, no instrument was available to enforce the proposals put forward. Also by virtue of what happened in the various sessions of the Regional Wildlife Hunting Technical Committee, Federcaccia urges and invites all hunters to expertly record all the samples for each individual species.
