Hunting: Tomorrow 1 September 2011 pre-opening day in Tuscany and in many other Italian regions; the 2011/2012 hunting season officially begins, the official start of which is scheduled for the third Sunday of September. The Sienese Arci Caccia criticizes the disunity of the hunting people.
August 31, 2011 - The president of Arci Caccia Siena, Alessandro Ferretti, speaks about this: "This year in the province of Siena and throughout Tuscany - explains Ferretti - the path that led us to request a derogation from the Region for pre-opening is it was certainly more complicated than usual, due to the conflicts that have reopened in recent months between hunters and environmentalists at a national level and which have also had repercussions at the territorial level. "
“At this moment it is necessary to proceed with the utmost collaboration and with a sense of responsibility on the part of all the counterparties, to guarantee first of all legal certainty for all hunters. This is the spirit that animated Arci Caccia even in this delicate phase and so we will continue to work in the next few days.
I regret, therefore, to note that there are still those who persist in putting various categories of hunters in conflict with each other, at a time when instead we should put aside particular selfishness - says Ferretti - and look at everyone a little more. beyond our nose. "
"On the other hand, we are not completely satisfied with regards to the starling - says the president of the provincial Arci Caccia - because we had asked for a larger measure than that launched by the Tuscany region, which in fact does not currently allow hunting in the territory of Siena. .
On this front, an opening on the part of the Region was hoped for by both hunters and farmers, worried by the growing presence of this species, so much so that Ispra, the higher institute for environmental protection and research, also expressed favorable opinion on the reintroduction of the transfer in the list of huntable species in Italy. "
“The hope is that the Region will now proceed with decision and firmness in the process for a further derogation, pursuant to the relevant EU directive, which will authorize more extensive collection possibilities. Just as we hope that the Dpr envisaged by the law with the guidelines for the exercise of exceptions, which has been expected for over a year now, will be quickly issued ".
