THEnutria emergency unfortunately it is a fact in the province of Treviso and since yesterday, Tuesday 15 November 2016, hunting trips by volunteers called to kill the rodents that are devastating local crops. The Province itself has decided not to wait any longer. The mayor of Arcade, Dominic Presti, brought together the presidents of the various Territorial Areas of Hunting and entrusted the hunters with the task of slaughtering the animals.
The goal is to eliminate as many specimens as possible as early as next December, an activity that is authorized by the law of the Veneto Region. Otters are not a protected species and firearms are allowed, as long as you go hunting outside the town. In addition, these jokes will take place exclusively during the night. The Province of Treviso has decided to rely on special cages and created specifically for capture.
However, the rodents will not have to suffer and the burial cannot exceed five carcasses for each single hectare. The operation will therefore not be easy and the nearly one hundred municipalities involved will be able to contribute financially, so that there are funds for cartridges and freezers for carcasses. Safety will be guaranteed in every aspect: in particular, the hunting expeditions will not concern the inhabited centers and the chosen volunteers are all qualified and trained hunters.
