It was held on Monday in Prefecture the first meeting of the technical table for the control of nutria wanted by Province of Brescia, specifically by the vice president Guido Galperti. Present farmers, administrators, institutions and some hunting associations. We want to make some reflections: first of all it does not seem to us that the time is ripe to talk about the eradication of this rodent that we all know all too well. Local institutions continue to count on the work of volunteers, the most gifted with firearms, but at the national level the problem has not yet been solved by creating the figure ofVolunteer Wildlife Operator.
What he is expecting is not known. Secondly, we want to insist on a scheme that to date has not yielded any practical results. Finally in the face of bombastic programs that speak of "Eradication", a term that leaves no room for misunderstanding, it does nothing but find limitations for voluntary operators. Which, about 400, should eradicate 140 thousand otters substantially by volunteering.
The hunting world, we repeat for the umpteenth time, is willing to do more on the subject but with the necessary guarantees and above all with the sacrosanct counterparts! And by counterpart we mean the possibility of withdrawing, during the whole year with the firearm, according to pre-established plans, crows magpies and foxes and not just nutria to achieve a serious and correct management of the territory. Otherwise, the otters will continue to be the subject of technical tables for the next thousand years.
