As disclosed by the Hunting Federation, Lombardy Regional Administrative Court yesterday, Monday 5 November 2018, sentenced the Region to pay 5 thousand euros to the League for the Abolition of the Hunt (LAC). This is the appeal presented on the game bag of the lark. According to the judges, the Lombard decree on this species is not legitimate, in particular the section where we talk about daily and seasonal game bags (different for specialist and generalist hunters).
The larks will then come down from 20 to 10 (per day) and from 80 to 50 (seasonal). The increases were planned for holders of live decoys. FIDC Bergamo has released this statement on the sentence: “We await the reasons for the precautionary provision of the TAR. However, we believe that the choice of the Region was common sense and fully respectful of the management plan of the species approved at the state level and which expressly allows to differentiate the game boxes.
The decision of the TAR, which in this precautionary phase is based on a superficial examination, we hope that it will be reviewed in the sentence. In any case, we thank the Region for the attention paid and for the concrete initiatives undertaken for the hunt for skylark. Our provision was of common sense and differentiated the game bag according to the specialty ". Now we await the new "moves" for the continuation of the legal process.
