He decided to preempt the Alpine hunting area of the Prealps Comasche, which yesterday actually completed the first week of wild boar hunting for the current year. Advance also due to the urgency to deal with an alarm that has taken on increasingly important proportions in the area, with damage to crops, pastures, gardens and last but not least with the always high alert linked to possible impacts with cars or vehicles, without forgetting the emergency linked to swine fever. "We are the only Larian area and among the few in Lombardy to have reopened the selection hunt for wild boar and in three days of hunting they were killed 37 specimens including 5 pregnant females, which would have brought to light another 28 specimens.
In fact it is as if they had been shot down 65 wild boars»Says Livio De Angeli, president of the Alpine Hunting District of the Comasche Prealps, which covers an area of 18 thousand hectares. «Ours wants to be a concrete answer to a real and very timely emergency. The advance of wild boar hunting is contemplated by regional law. Moreover, in this very first phase we decided to concentrate the abatements in the areas where the most relevant problems have been reported to us - adds De Angeli - They are about 115 qualified hunters which will be able to carry out the killing until 23 April.
Subsequently, the selection hunt will resume from 7 to 21 May and from 2 June until 31 January 2023. Ours wants to be an attempt to understand if starting earlier with the selection hunt we can have an important impact on withdrawals, remembering that June and July are the key months for killing ». "If this experiment works, it is our intention to confirm this advance of the hunting season for next year and possibly expand it," says the number one of the hunting area. The plan approved by Ispra provides for the demolition of 800 heads, with the possibility of increasing withdrawals.
What happened last year when 650 wild boars were killed against the 500 initially requested. And this gives the dimension of how concrete - for some time - the emergency underway has been. «We have decided to be operational almost two months ahead of schedule. We will see how it goes. To be even more effective - for having gotten the go-ahead to hunt too in the two hours following sunset - however, we ask the Lombardy Region and the councilor for hunting Fabio Rolfi to clarify the use of the lighthouse and night vision goggles as soon as possible. As written in the regional law, this important passage is hard to understand "(The province).
