The Tar suspends the hunting in bird migration areas
From today, hunting is suspended in most of the 29 Sicilian Special Protection Areas (SPAs) concerned
from the migration of birds - including all the smaller islands - and in the marshes of south-eastern Sicily (in the Syracusan area).
This was decided by the first section of the Regional Administrative Court of Palermo with three orders for the suspension of the regional hunting calendar, after the appeal of environmentalists and animal rights activists.
This was made known by the environmentalists themselves, who recall the Tar as “already for the first time, with urgent decree n. 922 of 30 September last, had accepted the request for suspension on the appeals presented by the associations, causing a stop to the hunting in SPAs provisionally. Now the suspension of hunting has been confirmed for the whole hunting season ”.
