The theme of wild boars
The topic of wild boars is held up in the parliamentary halls in Rome and the honorable Member is surrounded by so much disinformation Maria Cristina Caretta di Fratelli d'Italia tries to clarify "The wild boar emergency is exactly what it is, an emergency with very serious repercussions on the safety of citizens and on the maintenance of agricultural activities. We are talking about damages, for the agricultural sector alone, estimated at 200 million euros a year, which impact hundreds of families, companies and related industries. We record an accident every 48 hours and there are still those who deny the existence of a dramatic public safety issue. Even the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA), in 2021, asked the Member States to take action to reduce the number of animals. We currently have two and a half million wild boars walking around Italy, totally out of control and in the face of a similar situation, we are sorry that our opposition colleagues have decided to put aside even the slightest glimmer of intellectual honesty regarding the measure approved in this maneuver morning. I remember that the solution proposed by friends of the left last year was the allocation of half a million euros to sterilize wild boars, an anti-scientific madness.
ISPRA's point of view
On this point also Dr. Genovesi of ISPRA has mentioned several times that the only possible solution for the containment of wild boars is slaughter, because they are now too many and out of control. This is what we talk about, containment, not hunting and I repeat it to distracted colleagues. We are in a scenario of overpopulation and these are precisely the contexts in which we risk losing more than ever in terms of habitat and biodiversity protection." The Hon. Maria Cristina Caretta of Fratelli d'Italia, vice president of the Agriculture commission at Montecitorio has been dealing with hunting for some time, from her experiences in the Veneto Region to today's commitment in Rome. You know very well that the needs of Italian hunters do not end with the control and management of the wild boar. Indeed, to be honest, being an elected representative in the Veneto region, you know very well that our priorities are first of all the hunting seasons, today seriously endangered by the opinions of Ispra and secondly the well-known events related to lead.
The availability of the hunting world
The Hon Caretta, a passionate hunter, is not unaware that starting hunting on 1st October would mean nullifying the season of miles of migratory migrants who, even in her region, are passionate about taking turdids from a fixed ambush. Not to mention the European directive on lead which in February will also have to be implemented in some way by Italy. According to this reckless and meaningless regulation, every slightest presence of water on the ground will imply the automatism of the definition of wetland of the territory itself, with the consequent obligation to use steel shot in hunters' rifles, under penalty of the usual hateful penal sanctions, not even we were all drug traffickers. A downpour will equate a field of corn stalks to a swamp and a ditch full of water will have the same environmental value as a river floodplain: we are mad and no European MEPs, including a couple of Italian representatives close to the hunting world , they managed to do nothing. These are the problems to be solved, and quickly, in addition to the wild boar emergency. The hunting world is available to collaborate with the institutions to contain wild boars if, however, it can remain the hunting world, that is, if our passion is not endangered by frankly inconceivable rules (source: FIDC Brescia).
