Strong and decisive condemnation by the Section Federcaccia of Macerata for the killing of aGolden Eagle occurred within the Monti Sibilini National Park. This is an act of cowardly poaching, from which we distance ourselves, but not only; we will activate ours as always Voluntary Hunting Security Guards for an even more widespread control of the whole territory so that these facts are repressed in no uncertain terms. The Provincial Federcaccia of Macerata is well aware of the importance of the conservation of this rare species, as it has managed for years with an agreement with the Province of Macerata, the protection oasis established in the Municipality of Monte Cavallo aimed in particular at the protection of a pair of Golden Eagles that have been breeding inside for years.
Although the agreement is now no longer active for the transfer of competences from the Provinces to the Region, ours Volunteer Hunting Guards they still continue to watch over this splendid territory where it is still possible to observe, better from a distance, with the use of binoculars, which is the best technique for not disturbing the animal, its flight which is a natural spectacle of rare charm . As hunters we reiterate that the poacher is not part of our world and all acts of poaching must be reported to the competent authorities.
I take this opportunity to thank the Provincial Police of Macerata, with whom we collaborate throughout the year with our Volunteer Hunting Guards as carries out effective control of the territory also aimed at the repression of any acts of poaching: just to give an example, some night services agreed with our Guards have allowed the identification and seizure of some acoustic calls to electromagnetic operation positioned to call and then illegally collect the quails during their migration.
