Wild boar hunting
An infected wild boar carcass found in Cardeto, in the province of Reggio Calabria, two new cases recorded on two wild boar carcasses in the Insugherata park and in Casal del Marmo in Rome. These are the latest cases in chronological order that demonstrate that on PSA theme attention must always be kept high. To do so, at the forefront also and above all in dealing with the consequences, are we hunters and farmers. Federcaccia, but also the rest of the hunting associations and the organized hunting world, headed for obvious reasons by the wild boar hunting teams of the affected areas, above all Liguria and Piedmont, have taken the field since the first outbreak of the epidemic to put the own experience and ability to intervene at the disposal of the authorities to contain and eradicate the disease. It is useless to hide that not everything went as it should have, also because without ever letting go of the spirit of collaboration and availability we have never failed to point it out. The same applies, perhaps even more forcefully than we do, to agricultural associations, which live with PSA a potentially disastrous risk for a sector of excellence such as the agri-food sector.
Delays and difficulties
Taking a cue from the two cases mentioned above, Coldiretti through the words of its national vice president and regional president of Lazio David Granieri intervened again to urge the rigorous application of the ordinance of the extraordinary commissioner for swine fever for Parks and Atc. Delays and difficulties are proof that availability and good will alone are not enough when – we speak for us hunters who literally represent the armed wing of the institutions in the fight against the PSA – we find ourselves trapped in the snares and snares of a bureaucracy complicated and of intervention models borrowed from profoundly different realities both for territory and for state and social organization from those of our country.
Future prospects
In this articulated and complex framework, where the victims are imprinted and citizens, hunters are in the forefront through their territorial bodies, or the Atc, but these can act - and they do - only where the administrations in turn have worked to enable them to do so. We have been saying this for months and have been trying to make the institutions understand. The Ministers concerned and the new Commissioner seem to have understood the need to adapt the European guidelines and to simplify the relative bureaucracy which will allow for the necessary interventions and speed to proceed. If this does not happen, the hunting world will have to continue to watch, but the fault of this inaction will not be its fault or its representatives and bodies in the area (Italian Hunting Federation Press Office).
