Almost a thousand lomellini hunters belonging to the Atc 6 which belongs to various municipalities, among which Mede, Pieve del Cairo, Breme, Frascarolo, Zeme, Candia. They rebel against the decision contemplated by the new hunting calendar which provides, only for the Atc lomellino chaired by Alberto Rossetti, to see the hunting of aquatic and migratory fauna closed ten days before the regional closure (January 20, 2022 instead of 31st January): another ten days less of activity in addition to the delayed opening days set for the Atc-6 on October 10th. "Unacceptable - says Alberto Rossetti - because our ATC, belonging to the Natura 2000 network site, has pushed the Region to an assessment of the incidence of animals on the territory such as to impose a drastic decrease in huntable periods.
If it is true, there would still be other ways to go in order not to penalize our thousand members but no one has asked us, not even the Federcaccia of which I am the territorial representative ». Local hunters propose some alternative solutions. First of all, they say, it would have been enough to create areas in which the closure of the company was anticipated hunting hares and pheasants to favor the nesting of native species. Or postpone the opening of the hunting season scheduled for the third Sunday of September, given the delay in agricultural harvests. But in the contestation of the Lomelline shotguns there would be more.
«They forbid us - continues President Rossetti - even to enter huntable areas by motor vehicles: will we leave the cars in the town squares? And then the temporary stalking hunt will be excluded in January: it can only be practiced on Saturdays and Sundays. Thus over a hundred of our members, while paying dues and licenses, they would be excluded ". Alberto Rossetti's accusations go further: «Everything has been communicated to us once the act has been completed. Federcaccia too he excluded us from the negotiation. We feel offended because, despite our commitment over ten years, no one has asked us for collaboration, much less an opinion on a decision that penalizes and discriminates against many fans of hunting ».
