Fifteen days after the opening of the hunting season, many are asking us what is new this year. Is it true that the sub-provincial areas will be unified? And again, is it true that more hunters will be allowed in each area? Is it true that it will be possible to hunt on the smaller islands? Below we tell you what is "cooking". The decree that unifies the AA.TT.CC. of each province, ready for some time, is stopped due to a bureaucratic quibble, but it should soon be signed by the Councilor. The problem that arises, given that we are now close to the opening, is the following: the administration will have time to inform the municipalities of the effects that the unification of the AA.TT.CC. will entail? Will the Divisions have the time to redo the rankings of those admitted given that the surface, and therefore the hunting density indices, will undergo significant changes?
And again, the new maximum hunting density index that will allow access to every AA.TT.CC. of a number of hunters equal to approximately double the current one, will it be possible to apply it immediately? Here, these are the questions that leave strong perplexity. Would it be better to wait for the badges to be distributed and make the changes immediately afterwards, or is this not necessary and, therefore, can we leave immediately? We do not have the answer to the question right now, but you will certainly be informed as soon as possible.
The second question is easier to solve, in the sense that, once the maximum hunting density index has been established (which has already been done, since this decree is also ready and firm for a technicality), the Divisions should simply integrate the ranking in act with all those subjects not admitted and who would find space thanks to the new indexes, it being understood that the ranking in progress would be immediately usable.
The situation in the smaller islands is more complex.
What we can tell you is that a resolution of the Government Council, the result of our suggestions and a few others, has been ready for some time, and is already circulating in hunting environments, which would modify the current 2013/18 Wildlife Hunting Plan and that, if approved, it could solve the age-old question of those island hunters whom in our previous article we defined as “children of a lesser God”. Here the use of the conditional is compulsory, since the appeals of the environmentalists will not be long in coming, and let us not forget that it is always that TAR Palermo, so close to Legambiente & c., Who is called to pronounce on the complex legal question that would put forward for his scrutiny.
It should be noted that it is not only the islanders who enjoy the changes to the Hunting Wildlife Plan, but also the hunters of the "plain of Gela" would see the hunting bans in areas outside the SPAs abolished, the hunters of the Messina area and, in general, the all hunters would have a fair return.
Finally, there is an obligation to thank all those regional Deputies of transversal alignment who have solicited the sensitivity of the Councilor, Avv. Reale, and made it possible to draft those provisions which, if approved, could represent the difference in hunting. , this time in a positive way, between Sicily and the other Italian regions. A sincere thanks goes, therefore, to the Hon. Luca Sammartino, Paolo Ruggirello, Roberto Clemente, Nino Germanà just to mention those on the front line, and a sincere thanks also goes to the "grillino" Deputy Angela Foti who with competence and, above all, in a secular way, he is trying to explain to his colleagues about the environmental damage caused by the swine within the protected areas and, in particular, he is trying to explain to the intransigents of his group that the sterile ideology does not benefit anyone.
