"Less bureaucracy and fewer constraints for hunters who carry out a fundamental activity with responsibility for the Lombard ecosystem - he declared Fabio Rolfi, Councilor for Agriculture, Food and Green Systems of the Lombardy Region -. We listened the demands of the hunting world and of the bodies in charge of control ". The commissioner then promoted an amendment relating to the obligation to use the colored garments for those who practice wild boar hunting.
In the exercise of wild boar hunting in the collective forms of hunt, turn and hunt, it will be mandatory for all participants to wear a jacket with bib and back high visibility colors, as well as headgear having the same characteristics. “I wanted to intervene in defense of the safety of the hunters. - added Rolfi.
Wild boar hunting presents a higher percentage of risk, since takes place in forest areas with reduced visibility. We therefore align ourselves with other Regions, where wild boar hunting is more practiced and where the obligation of high visibility clothing was already in force ".
