It was scheduled for yesterday afternoon but the association meeting has been postponed foremen straplai of Abruzzo with the Regional Councilor for Agriculture, Imprudent Emanuele. The association was born from a whatsapp group to oppose the new wildlife hunting plan that penalizes the wild boar hunters ending up destroying agriculture. A group of 206 people with about 145 teams from all over the region, which immediately mobilized for the covid emergency, collecting about 18mila euros, relying on spokesperson Dino Rossi. “With the money we raised we bought various equipment from pulse oximeters to gowns and masks you come directly from China for Covid 19 hospitals ”specifies Rossi himself.
“The wild boar problem has unfortunately been badly managed up to now. The hunters, the real ones, have only respected the given rules. Now the time has come for the institutions to feel the base and not the various associations that are born only for the cards ”continues Rossi. "Instead, we strap-on foremen of Abruzzo distance ourselves from those who have only the interest to shoot and to kill sows with offspring to follow just to make meat to sell. You got it right: there are those who collect the carcasses and normally you shoot the largest animal, in this way the disoriented little ones remain in proximity, causing more damage.
The problems are not solved with a press release, like the one that appeared a few days ago, but with concrete actions. We foremen for the protection of animals, agriculture and the safety of motorists we have sown about 20 hectares of throwaway crops in some critical points, in order to contain animals away from roads and agricultural crops. We plan to extend this idea to the whole territory of the region ”explains the spokesman of the association. "It should be noted that agriculture, as well as being the driving force of the economy it is essential for the survival of wildlife and in particular the bear, as repeatedly claimed by the biologist Franco Zunino, killed by the Pnalm only because he is very professional, he has never bowed to the will of the clientelist policy.
We do not forget the sedentary game, partridges, hares, pheasants and rock partridges, they too live in symbiosis with the farmers, shepherds and woodcutters”Is keen to emphasize. "We beltlai foremen of Abruzzo, in addition to being hunters, we are farmers and ranchers, we live the territory, we treat the land and animals with respect, we do not kill for the sake of killing, but by necessity due to the surplus, the hunting activity must be done as our grandparents did, taking the necessary for the sustenance of the family, in this case defending the cultures and the viability without making senseless slaughter - concludes the spokesman - We just want to preserve our habits of hunting prey with the dog, giving the wild the possibility of salvation and not waiting for it to graze and shoot it treacherously "(Reteabruzzo.com).
