Hunting notwithstanding the starling. The Emilia-Romagna Region has approved the exercise of the exceptions for the authorization to hunt the starling and pigeon for the Hunting season 2016/2017. The resolution provides for the period of application "in rounds 4, 8, 11 and 15 September and from the third Sunday of September to 30 November in compliance with the limits set by the hunting calendar".
“The surprise is that the possibility of taking the species has disappeared canceled the first day of hunting, which is 1 September. - highlights Fabrizio Rusticali, provincial director of Cia Ravenna - Once again the Region, for bureaucratic reasons, creates further limits and constraints on the action of the withdrawal, thus increasing the damage to agricultural crops, nullifying the purpose of the withdrawal whose objective is the numerical reduction of the species in order to limit the considerable and recurring damages ".
“Farmers continue to be at the mercy of starlings as well as bureaucracy (unnatural disaster). - concludes Rusticali - And what strikes us most negatively is that the proposals submitted by the Department to the Representative Organizations, and shared by them, in the resolution in question are not there ".
