Hunting and Fauna: Irpinia, wild boar emergency, the position of the hunters; actions of containment and hunting regulation, the Coordination of the Presidents of the Districts of Wild boar hunting takes stock of the issue.
“The Provincial Coordination of the Presidents of the districts of hunting to wild boar, having verified that in recent days, public opinion has spoken a lot about the wild boar emergency, which affects the whole peninsula from north to south, and specifically also our province, has deemed it appropriate to make known its position on the matter to the "boar question".
The Committee, having established that the only regulating-inhibiting "factor" of the species, on our territory, is hunting, claims, to the bodies involved in the "boar problem", the construction of an effective and organized "relationship" , between Presidents of hunting districts and Authorities, this in order to make the wildlife management actions, in the case of containing wild boar, of greater synergy and effectiveness.
The Committee asks, as it has been doing for some time, however, to establish, in our province, a responsible and planned management of wild boar hunting, fully exploiting the competence and knowledge of the territory which, wild boar hunters, of course they possess. Although important planned management actions for the wild boar species have been launched in our province, with the issuance of a specific provincial regulation, we must point out that the resulting rules have never been fully implemented to date.
There and we ask you the reason for this lack of implementation? Moreover, in such a sensitive sector. The actions of containment of the species, such as the monitoring of the new born, the electrification of the fields or the establishment of disposable crops, just to name a few, fail to develop in our province because every year we see ourselves neglected and neglected, in the various administrative steps that the Provincial Authority must take to legitimize us and allow us to operate.
It is worth remembering that these containment actions can only be implemented (without public disbursements) by wild boar hunting teams! This is why in the spring, in a meeting with the new provincial presidency, we asked for compliance with the regulations regarding boar hunting. Invoking then, with force, that the Province should not be reduced, in order to legitimize the teams to operate, to the last useful days, something that has been happening for some years now.
We are able to be "committed and serious actors" in the management of wild boar in the province, but the Authority must lend us a hand, listen to our "simple" requests, all of which can be traced back to compliance with the current regulations, dedicating and dedicating a more attention!".
