Fox hunting: open hunts until January 30th: hunting teams will have to wear phosphorescent vests. It is forbidden to kill other animals
The rules for fox hunting in the province of Benevento arrive from the Rocca dei Rettore. The extraordinary commissioner Aniello Cimitile has in fact approved the disciplinary that must be respected by hunters for the 2013/2014 hunting year.
The hunts in search of the animal can be carried out from 2 October to 30 January 2014 by teams of hunters residing in the ATC of Benevento, with special authorizations and with the use of a follow-up dog.
However, wildlife protection areas and those relating to specific hunting for wild boar are excluded from the hunts. Not only that: requests must include a buffer zone of 500 meters from the borders of the regional parks and 150 meters from the protected areas.
Precise provisions also for the clothing to wear (yellow or orange safety vest) and for the composition of the teams, which must be composed of a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 10 participants, including the team leader, in possession of regular valid hunting license and regional card.
During the hunt, however, it will be forbidden to have single bullet ammunition, to shoot down other animals and to use rifles that contain in total more than two shots permitted by law.
Finally, the culled animals that show signs of disease must be promptly delivered to the veterinary ASL for analysis of the case.
