Poaching. The vigilance for the protection of wildlife continues unabated by the men of the Fish Hunting nucleus of the Provincial Police Corps of Bergamo who in recent days have carried out a joint operation with the voluntary hunting guards.
During the anti-poaching operation a man is reported in the territory of the municipality of Ranica because he is dedicated to hunting illegal inside a protection oasis where hunting is always prohibited in absolute terms.
Numerous offenses of both a criminal and administrative nature contested to the fifty-year-old including - in addition to hunting in a prohibited area - the use of weaponry prohibited and prohibited hunting means, hunting without authorization, without payment of concession fees, compulsory insurance and non-regulated remote shooting from inhabited centers.
During the operation, an abusive plant for the capture of birds was also found, consisting of a birding net of about 15 meters stretched between the plants of a vegetable garden, and the detention of unauthorized live calls and the capture of protected species including robins, caught in the net itself.
All the material found - two hunting rifles, numerous ammunition, acoustic warnings, the nets for fowling and all the live and killed fauna - were placed under seizure.
