An absolutely safe supply chain
The ATC 11 of Pistoia in the 20023/24 hunting year joined an important initiative of the Tuscany Region, which makes it possible to donate game meat to Food Bank, an emeritus organization committed to supporting families in difficult situations. The Pistoiese Territorial Hunting Area, with its Game Collection Centers which allow us to guarantee a meat supply chain that is safe for consumption from every point of view, was able to deliver approximately 2,5 quintals of game meat to the Food Bank.
Teams of wild boars
All this would certainly not have been possible if the wild boar hunting teams had not joined the initiative and, in the last available days of the hunting calendar, worked to deliver some of the culled animals. Due to bureaucratic delays, the organization times were very tight and some teams were not able to participate as perhaps they would have liked, but we are still satisfied with the result obtained.
The involvement of hunters
I particularly thank all the teams who participated, even those who were not able to provide animals but took part, and all our voluntary and non-voluntary operators, who worked with enthusiasm for the success of the initiative. I want to hope that next year we will be able to contribute again by stimulating greater involvement of our hunters, who must feel like the true protagonists of the initiative and of the important social purposes for which it was created (The President of ATC 11 Pistoia – Antonio Andreini) .
