Hunting Calendar of the Campania Region for the 2014-2015 Hunting Season, the comment of the regional Federcaccia.
The Regional Council of Campania, in the session of June 23, approved the Regional Hunting Calendar which regulates the exercise of hunting in Campania for the 2014/2015 vintage. It is necessary to acknowledge the commitment, determination, work of the councilor Daniela Nugnes and the regional reference structure that allowed the calendar to be approved in June. However, it is necessary to highlight some technical aspects of the approved text. The document traces, in the traits and in the drafting, those of the previous hunting years and reiterates some excesses in the limitations to hunting, in our subdued opinion unjustified. In the SCI areas of the Natura 2000 Network it presents few important innovations and for some species it disregards data and research, as well as European Regulations and Directives.
In particular, it should be noted that some elements, such as the elimination of the quail species in the pre-opening period, the postponement of the whisk and snipe species to 1 October, the early closure of the moorhen and garganey species to 19 January 2015, they appear more the result of agreements, albeit necessary, between the parties or between some parties, rather than based on a scientifically compatible basis and in line with the Community Directives. The cinofilia, or the training and training of hunting dogs, remains at stake with the modification made to art. 24 of the Regional Law n. 12/2013; there is no trace of the attempt to allow, at least starting from September XNUMXst, the training and training of hunting dogs, as suggested by ISPRA, in preparation for their use from the third Sunday of September.
Federcaccia Campania, in the consolidated tradition of sharing with other hunting associations and with the institutional world of the work of building better conditions for Campania hunters, intends to develop a project for the management of the territory and sustainable sampling free from prejudices, open to comparison, based on scientific research data, on Community rules and directives. The hope is that what has been deliberated today, beyond and above the notes highlighted, despite the efforts made, will not be somehow refuted with monochromatic judicial acts of a TAR that is too often zealous and punitive for the world of hunters.
