Poaching: Shotgun and electronic recall seized. A poacher was surprised by the men of the State Forestry Corps while he was hunting using illegal means in Monte Giove di Fano (PU).
FANO - Yesterday morning, the staff of the State Forestry Corps carried out a check in the vicinity of a temporary hunting post and perceived a singular song, persistent and continuous, typical of acoustic signals with electronic operation. A forty-year-old man from Fano was intent on hunting illegally with the aid of an electronically operated acoustic signal, reproducing the song of the song thrush and equipped with a memory card with the singing of various bird species.
The use of electronic acoustic signals for hunting purposes is prohibited by Law no. 157/92 and for the forty-year-old the immediate complaint was made to the competent Public Prosecutor's Office, with the simultaneous seizure of the rifle and the electronic recall. The operations were carried out by the Cartoceto Forest Station Command as part of a control and intensification campaign of anti-poaching activities, scheduled for the entire autumn period.
