SOARDA controls
The Lombard hunting associations stand united in defense of the form of hunting from stalking, strongly rooted in some Provinces of the Region. It is part of the Traditional Hunts which are practiced with the use of live decoys equipped with identification rings. For this reason, a special "Data Bank" has been created where all the decoys supplied by individual hunters are cataloged into the various huntable species. The controls of the Hunting Supervision and the detail of the SOARDA Forestry Carabinieri Unit have concentrated precisely on these immovable rings - seals. This unit, which is sent on a mission every year with the primary aim of fighting "Poaching", over time seems to have changed into "Hunting the Hunter" who, as is known, is not a poacher, just as he does not belong to no dangerous delinquent category.
Rules and limits
We have received reports from our members about checks, home and even personal searches with different motivations including alleged flagrant crimes. We remind you that the "Rules of engagement" in controls have boundaries and limits protected by both the Constitutional Charter and the Criminal Code. The Lombardy Hunting Associations demand that these rules be maintained within these limits, not wanting to hinder the checks by the numerous PG agents who can carry them out.
Give continuity to the hunt
The Hunting Associations want to protect the dignity and respect of their members in all locations and therefore believe they should bring the matter relating to these controls to the attention of the Political Forces and in particular of the Ministers competent in the matter, in order to give and guarantee continuity to the form of hunting from ambush permitted by the Framework Law on hunting n.157/92 (the regional sections of Federcaccia, Libera Caccia, CPA, ANUUMigratoristi, ArciCaccia, Enalcaccia, Italcaccia, ACL).
