Hunting: Vasto, wild boar problem, for Ivano Cirese of EnalCaccia Abruzzo “Useless killing that does not solve the problem in the Vastese area”.
Regarding the position taken by Enalcaccia on self-control in the Abruzzo Region and especially in the Vastese ATC, Ivano Cirese of EnalCaccia Abruzzo explained the position of the association, "Undoubtedly Enalcaccia Abruzzo does not approve sic et simpliciter what is derived above all in the Vastese area, a territory completely unprepared for certain forms of coexistence.
The bad management by the ATC, from the inauguration of the D'Angelo presidency to today, is the only cause responsible for the misunderstandings that have arisen. Before proceeding with the killing, the ATC should have at least groped all the other forms of containment provided and well listed in the regulation itself and only ultimately decree the killing that appears highly ridiculous (only ninety animals can be killed) in resolving the problem "Boars". Instead he immediately and only worried about the formation of the selecontrollers, perhaps badly advised by the omnipresent lawyer. Nicolucci who for years has been filling his mouth with sustainable hunting and targeted sampling with self-control, forgetting that this form of hunting is not part of our cultural tradition which is that of hounds.
All forms of hunting they must be defended, even the one with the rifle, but this cannot cancel our traditional one with the hound that has millenary roots in our territories, it does not belong to us. The self-control in Abruzzo had to be aimed above all at the opening of hunting to other surplus ungulates, namely: red deer, fallow deer, roe that dominate 68% of our territory closed together with the wild boar. The politicians of our Region are well aware of the problem and the limits of the national law and of the European clauses, but they do not ignore the grievances of a fundamentalist environmentalism that finds an effective shield in certain rules by launching every year a hunting calendar already dead from the start, because the law has found an appeal like that of last year which was overcome only thanks to the work of the Enalcaccia.
The Enalcaccia Abruzzo hopes for a short-term review by the competent body of the entire regulation, including all the points previously excluded and with all that it entails including self-control and invites the ATCs to demonstrate more attention and competence in the management of the its territory currently operating with self-control only in those territories where it is really necessary to take the right wild boar to safeguard the citizens, agriculture and other fauna itself.
Do not be afraid, and I am referring exclusively to ATC Vastese, to interrupt this practice if deemed unnecessary. The killing of only 90 animals decreed seems to me to confirm what has been written and demonstrates that the interventions are useless for the purpose of real containment, it seems more to give a signal to the supporters of self-control and a sop to those who have paid handsomely to have the qualification, for let them have some fun.
