THETerritorial hunting area of Brescia in the meeting of 20 July it approved the management plan for the wild boar hunting. "Today, in the face of the growing requests for damage reduction, connected with the presence and spread of wild boar considered excessive, there is a need, on the part of theSingle ATC of Brescia, to initiate, in compliance with the regulations and planning tools in force, timely actions aimed at solving existing environmental and socio-economic problems in their area of jurisdiction". This is the beginning of the important planning document, with an unusually long and troubled gestation, so much so that its approval was not with a unanimous vote but even with two votes against, one of which from the President. Alessandro Sala.
We have not yet had the opportunity to deepen the text to understand what may have been the differences that led to these votes, it is certain that some issues raised by the representatives of our association in the special commission set up at the time by the ATC were not taken into consideration at all. Among all, the lack of subdivision of the territory into parcels, as happens for example in Emilia Romagna, a region that has been facing selection hunting for a few decades. In Brescia, as we imagine in the rest of Lombardy, the selecontroller is free to go over the whole territory where selection hunting is allowed; this way most of them will obviously go, even if the programming of the outings and the number of hunters is foreseen, where the number of wild boars is greater, leaving out all those areas where there are wild boars but in small numbers.
Areas within which, however, being identified by the Management Plan as unsuitable areas, the wild boar should be eradicated. If we want to talk about management, it is not just the wild boar population, but also the distribution of selecontrollers. The problem in Brescia must be faced in the territory of the ATC, which we remember is made up of 132 municipalities, without hesitation but also without upsetting what today already works as hunted wild boar hunting. It will be our care to deepen the subject in the next Cacciapensieri and expose, with calmness but also firmness, doubts and perplexities. However, this new plan has been voted on and as such it will be implemented and managed with the commitment of everyone and in case, since it has not yet been carved in the granite of theAdamello, if deemed insufficient or ineffective, changed.
