Collisions between wild boars and motor vehicles on provincial roads are now following one another at an alarming rate, adding to the problem, also relevant, of damage caused to agricultural crops. This was underlined by the Provincial Police Command, which almost every night, through the ready-to-call service, carries out interventions to detect accidents caused by wildlife. A situation of great inconvenience and concern for citizens, above all due to the fact that mainly accidents occur, as mentioned, during the night on inland roads without lighting and, sometimes, in areas without telephone network coverage. Furthermore, according to the regulations issued by the Marche Region, it is mandatory to have the accident detected and reported by a police body, in order to obtain compensation that, at the most, reaches 50% of the damage suffered.
Faced with a situation of overt emergency, an urgent meeting was held at the headquarters of the Territorial Hunting Area of Ascoli Piceno where, in the presence of the Provincial Councilor Aleandro Petrucci, the Commander of the Provincial Police Avv. Anna Maria Lelii and of all the Presidents of the Hunting Associations, the situation was taken stock by examining problems and interventions.
The Province, not without difficulty and managing to overcome the bureaucratic obstacles posed by the Ministry of the Environment, through the Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research), has activated, on a scientific basis, abatement plans to contain the number of ungulates. However, the result of these operations, implemented by the Territorial Hunting Area, through voluntary personnel duly trained by the Province, is neither easy nor obvious for a series of contingent reasons, including the harshness of the territories and vegetation, climatic conditions and other factors.
To all this, however, we must unfortunately add an obstacle of a cultural nature, that is the resistance on the part of a group of pseudo hunters who, with "every system", with the sole aim of filling their game bags during the period in which wild boar hunting is allowed, they try by any means to boycott the success of the operations. Boycott episodes that were unanimously condemned by all those participating in the meeting, in particular the last one occurred in chronological order, particularly serious and regrettable: the poisoning of some dogs used by the operators. The same organizations of agricultural entrepreneurs are alarmed by the deterioration of that basic relationship of collaboration and subsidiarity, established for years, with the healthy part of the hunting world.
