Lots of great insights
“Serious proposals, necessary to be implemented, which are also fully shared in the meetings that I have been having with them since this summer teams of wild boar hunters around Umbria“. The regional councilor of the League, Manuela Puletti, applauds the proposals of the Coordination of wild boar teams of Umbria and hopes "they can be implemented by the Council quickly". “As I have had the opportunity to underline on more than one occasion together with my colleague Valerio Mancini – explains Puletti – there is a social emergency due to the disproportionate number of wildlife present in our territory. This creates significant inconvenience for farmers due to the extensive damage caused, but also to road safety, in addition to health risks due to the spread of African swine fever. Also in light of the ambitious abatement objectives indicated for Umbria in the PSA commissioner's extraordinary plan, I believe it is essential to intervene and review regulations that are now outdated".
The number of beats
“The one launched by the Boar Hunting Team Coordination – underlines the representative of the League – in addition to highlighting the needs for those who practice this type of hunting, also represents a request for attention in the face of a situation, the current one, in which the most small ones are the first to suffer. It is therefore good to increase the number of joint hunts, intervene to ensure better mapping of the territory and, based on its characteristics, adapt the type of hunting. Furthermore, in some particularly critical areas - he adds - it is also advisable to provide for the eradication of wild boar. And then, fight in institutional settings, as requested by the League, to extend wild boar hunting from 3 to 5 months."
New encounters
“Because the problem of wildlife – continues Puletti – has become a social plague that can no longer be postponed. Which is why – he announces – I will continue to meet and listen to teams together with my colleague Mancini and try to summarize their proposals, so as to develop a document to submit to the councillor”. “And to someone who believes that listening to hunters means wanting to campaign – warns Puletti – I reply that, whether you like it or not, it is politics, through the representatives chosen by the citizens themselves, that has the power to legislate. And this is why I have daily conversations with those directly involved, who better than anyone else can direct politics to legislate in the most appropriate way with respect to the needs of the territory and society. For this reason, I remain convinced - he concludes - that bringing the will of hunters to the appropriate forums is the highest form of closeness and sharing that politics can have towards hunters, especially when compared to those who don't even talk about it or deal with it" ( source: Umbria Region).
