Hunting, Territory and Wildlife. With regard to the statements of Coldiretti Forlì-Cesena, who contested the management of wildlife by the ATC, the Union of Cinghialai Romagnoli teams expressed some criticisms; the president of Coldiretti Forlì-Cesena, Andrea Ferrini, criticized the management of the wildlife by the Territorial Areas of Hunting reporting "the now impossible coexistence of agricultural entrepreneurs with wildlife", Gabrio Nunziatini of USCR, Unione Squadre Cinghialai Romagnoli, expressed some criticisms.
"The president of Coldiretti, addressing the issue of damage to crops by game, expressed some opinions with respect to which I can only express my personal disagreement - comments Nunziatini - I refer to the criticisms addressed to the ATC, which with the few funds available (money disbursed by hunters) have best managed the problems concerning damage to cultivated land, putting in place every form of prevention and providing the necessary material that has been promptly implemented by hunters on a voluntary and absolutely free basis. In cases where the various forms of prevention have not given the desired results, the ATCs have provided to indemnify 100% of all the damage assessed, going well beyond what is indicated by law 157/92 which "speaks" of a contribution " .
"On the other hand, I find it offensive to define" perched on retrograde positions ", as did Ferrini, the managers of the hunted hunting that I represent - continues Nunziatini - Perhaps the president was misinformed by those who handled the matter for him: the hunters of the teams are those who get up at dawn equipped with tools and go to fence crops at their own expense and voluntarily , they are always the ones who, within the time allowed and in the permitted ways, collect the greatest number of wild boars, and it is still they who open their wallets and take out the money they need to compensate for the damage that has not been able to contain.
“The modest claim - continues Nunziatini - to have a say in the management of hunting and the territory I do not think can be defined as retrograde and even less arrogant. The hunting world has always worked to meet the needs of farmers, in the vast majority of cases the relationships with the tenants of the cultivated land are really good: collaboration and respect have never been lacking, we are aware and aware of the difficult moment that lies ahead. living our agriculture ".
"We therefore reiterate our willingness to continue and, if possible, to improve what has been done to date - concludes Nunziatini - We believe in comparison and collaboration, but we cannot and do not want to accept attitudes and impositions that in some cases I would dare to define at least exaggerated. ; we consider it morally and ethically unacceptable to implement hasty control plans without first having put in place any other form of deterrence (as indicated by the law). It is not with arrogance and with impositions that problems are solved, but with dialogue and discussion, and I hope for a reflection of all the parties involved that will lead to the solution of the problems, avoiding wasting energy in what I allow myself to define a counterproductive war between the poor ”.
