One year later, the necessary funds arrived to start the plan for culling of otters in the province of Verona. The start of this business had been announced just twelve months ago, but now that economic resources are available, you will have to wait until next January, just after the holiday season. There was also talk of nutria during the summit convened by the Prefecture, which has explored all issues related to safety.
Farmers expressed all their concerns, recalling the damage caused by rodents to fields and river banks. A year ago, however, there was talk of 800 hunters engaged in the capture and killing of 240 thousand animals. The plan was developed by the municipalities of Verona, by land reclamation consortia and by hunting associations, in full compliance with the regional regulations.
However, it should be remembered that in November 2016 some guards had begun containment, now the plan will finally be able to go live. In the six Territorial Areas of Hunting located in the province of Verona there are 1200 licensed hunters, even if the availabilities were not numerous at the end of last year. In the past, shotguns have already been used in other similar and rather consistent activities.
