Yesterday, Friday 16 December 2016, the Council of State he accepted the associations' appeals Arch Hunting ed Enalhunt against the decision of the Regional Administrative Court of Abruzzo on the early closure for some species. In detail, it is about the choice of the administrative judges to end on December 31st (therefore in two weeks) the hunting of song thrushes, stone thrushes and cesene.
The new ruling states that the hunt in question will end ten days later, on 10 January 2017, while for the woodcock the deadline was confirmed at the end of the year. The reasons given by the Abruzzo Region were not considered suitable for what concerns the woodcock a exceed the opinion of ISPRA on post-nuptial migration.
The lawyer Matteo Valente, who dealt with the appeal, underlined how the affair was rather complex and it was amazing how we got a pronunciation in good time to allow the hunting to take place even in the first ten days of the new year. The decision of the TAR Abruzzo, on the contrary, was considered flawed in relation to the times of turdidae hunting, which is why the requests of the two hunting associations have been recognized.
