I Sardinian hunters they have to deal with yet another twist in terms of what concerns hares and partridges. Some hope was lit for this hunting season after last year's problems, now everything has changed. As announced by the Legal Intervention Group, in fact, the Regional Administrative Court of Sardinia accepted the appeal of this association (together with LAC, WWF and LAV) and suspended the collection of the two species.
Yesterday's decree sanctioned the cancellation of the effects of the decree approved byDepartment of Environmental Defense of last July 20 on the 2018-2019 island calendar in the part where we talk about the Sardinian hare and the Sardinian partridge. In particular, the judges accepted the animal rights thesis according to which the game bag is excessive. It is talking about almost 72 thousand hares and just under 144 thousand partridges for the approximately 36 thousand authorized hunters.
According to the applicants, the main problem is that of the size of the animals, with populations which are not fully known and which would even tend to decrease. The same situation occurred in relation to the 2017-2018 hunting calendar. In October there will be a precautionary hearing, but for the moment the island hunters will have to give up hares and partridges.
