Hunting in the Province of Perugia: The Commission, "Too restrictive and limiting", Guasticchi "Pacifying the hunting world". Cecchini, “Available for comparison”.
Restoration of the pre-opening day (with the so-called hunt for "estatini"), cancellation of the maximum seasonal game bag for the lark, quail and turtle dove species (provision deemed superfluous and inappropriate), extension of the hunt on the opening day also to corvids and to the wood pigeon (considering the increase of the breeding quota in the whole region).
These are some of the main requests put forward by the members of the III Council Commission of the Province of Perugia, chaired by Luca Baldelli, to the Umbria Region, during the hearing of the regional hunting councilor Fernanda Cecchini concerning the contents of the pre- adopted by the Regional Council for 2011 and hunting policies in general.
There are many points in the Calendar on which the critical observations of the III Commission have focused, as well as those of the provincial hunting council which has chosen this hearing to deliver to the regional councilor, through the hunting director Franco Granocchia, its own document. official. In the first place, the Consulta does not agree with the choice to do without the pre-opening, seen as "the loss of an opportunity that is part of our hunting culture".
Strongly criticized also the management by the Region of the procedural process "which led to the definition of the text of the Calendar, not leading to the participation of a part of the choices adopted".
Many of the restrictions included are also considered superfluous, such as setting a seasonal maximum bag for some species and reducing daily quotas in some cases. Some anomalies have been detected on the possibility of tabulating the territory pertaining to the fixed postings, extending this intervention also to temporary ones, hypotheses for which elimination from the calendar is requested.
Also for the opening on the third Sunday of September it is asked to insert the corvids and the wood pigeon, while as regards the hare the request concerns the closure of the hunt to be postponed to 15 December.
Regarding the wild boar, it is asked to specify "that the possibility for the Provinces to postpone the hunting activity is not allowed from 18 September where the activity on this species is aimed at safeguarding agricultural crops, but from 8 October 2011".
To these were added the solicitations contained in an agenda presented by Enrico Bastioli (Socialists and Reformists for Umbria) who, in addition to the issues listed above, raises other problems, such as the need to harmonize hunting calendars between neighboring regions, to unify the dates of wild boar hunting periods between Perugia and Terni and to review the "Birds" Directive in the point concerning nesting and reproduction phases, so that "the possibility of general opening to all species can be verified huntable from the 2nd Sunday of September ".
Harsh positions taken by the Pd Councilor Massimiliano Capitani for whom certain deadlines set by the hunting calendar are incomprehensible, "highly limiting for hunters", and "the choices regarding the game bag for larks, turtledove and quail are very questionable". "There is nothing that is good", was the comment of Giampiero Panfili (Pdl), according to which "hunters do not deserve to be treated in this way".
For Giampiero Fugnanesi (Italian Communists), however, "there is a new air in the relations between the Province and the Region". And it is precisely to this that Marco Vinicio Guasticchi, president of the Executive Committee, speaking in the Commission referred, who said he was "confident about the possibility of creating a new climate of collaboration between organizations".
In his opinion, “the only real objective to be pursued is the pacification and union of the hunting world, which has been divided for too long by excessive protagonism. The Province - said the president - is working to find the unifying elements in this environment, putting the bar back in the center ”.
In recalling the various European, national and regional provisions that in fact make certain choices mandatory, the regional councilor Cecchini said she was however fully available to deal with the Province and with the Council established within it.
