Carabinieri checks
The Carabinieri Forestali of the La Spezia Group in Val Magra conducted some investigations relating to the hunting of the starling. In the locality of Luni, to be precise in the Spezzino, two hunters were caught using a shed that didn't respect the right distances from nearby olive groves, as required by law. In this case there was a free complaint, the seizure of the rifles and the 4 starlings shot down.
The fines imposed
In Santo Stefano di Magra, to be precise in the La Macchia area, the administrative fines amounted to 1200 euros. This is the sum of the fines paid to four hunters. Their fault? In the hunting card of the Liguria Region they had not noted 13 transfers that had just been shot down.
Other penalties
Finally, there was another investigation by the local military. In the Rocchetta Vara area, a road check led to the discovery of a transport of a weapon for hunting use without its custody. Again, an administrative fine was imposed on the hunter.
To the improvised hunters of these times who have had no experience with their grandparents and much less with their parents, I would make them take a course the same as taking a Laura.
