Regional choices
The Agriculture, Hunting and Fishing sector - Parma and Piacenza areas of the Emilia-Romagna Region, with a provision adopted yesterday, has ordered the early closure of the picking up the hare in ATC PC 1 starting today, November 15th. The measure was taken following the monitoring of the withdrawal which is carried out by the ATC themselves, to avoid excessive impoverishment of the populations. Based on the reports provided by the hunters regarding the animals taken, it emerged that we were close to reaching the maximum forecasts on the number of animals that could be hunted. Furthermore, the hare censuses carried out by the technicians in charge highlighted a reduction in presences significantly greater than expected.
