After Puglia also the Molise: the adverse weather conditions that are raging in the Central-Southern Italy they are pushing various administrations to review the hunting calendar. There Apulian decision (valid until tomorrow, Sunday 8 January) provoked several controversies, now the snow has "suggested" to the Molise Regional Council to block hunting throughout the territory for two days, Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 January 2017. Therefore, today and tomorrow the Molise hunters will be forced to rest their guns.
The decision was made yesterday evening, Friday 6 January, but had been announced a few hours earlier on their Facebook profile by the regional councilor delegated to hunting. Christian Di Pietro. The Region took its cue from paragraph 1, letter i, of article 31 of the Regional Law 19 of 1993 (“Rules for the protection of homeothermic wildlife and for hunting”), which prohibits hunting on land that is wholly or partly covered by snow.
According to this standard, there would be limited portions of land available for hunting, but the will to protect the hunters' safety prevailed. In Molise there was a strong wave of frost with snowfall at low altitudes and temperatures below zero.
