Motion of the Umbria League for the extension of the hunting calendar: "The Covid-19 pandemic has prevented the regular performance of hunting, an activity that allows the protection of the environment, agriculture and public security - recalled the councilor of the League, Valerio Mancini - therefore it is necessary that an extension of the hunting calendar is established, to allow hunters to recover the days in which the exercise of the hunt was banned by decree of the Prime Minister ".
For the exponent of the Carroccio "In Calabria the Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (Ispra) expressed a favorable opinion regarding the extension of the wild boar hunt until January 31, 2021, and the Tuscany Region has already prepared the extension of the activity until the end of January 2021 - Mancini announced - therefore theThe Lega group will present a motion that binds the Regional Council to implement also in Umbria, in compliance with the sector regulations, every useful action to extend the hunting exercise to the wild boar species until 31 January 2021 and to opportunistic species until 10 February 2021".
And again: "This is an act due not only to hunters, forced to give up hunting due to the pandemic - concluded the Councilor of the League - but also to farmers, who suffer more and more damage to crops caused by ungulates, and to citizens, who are increasingly victims of road accidents caused by wild boars "(Perugia Today).
