Directive of the Sicily region on the marketing of game killed while hunting and in fact the regional health department has regulated the consumption of game meat from hunting activities. For the regional deputy of Attiva Sicilia, Elena Pagana "The central aspect of the provision concerns large game, such as wild boar, wild suidae, fallow deer. These are species that in recent years have had a great numerical increase, especially in the mountain and inland areas of Sicily.
To cope with the exponential increase in these animals and the consequent damage they cause, a plan has been set up controlled felling and, now, the possibility of using the meat for consumption and marketing is given ". “The regional directive - adds Elena Pagana - which has already been sent to Sicilian Asp, is also the result of a meeting of the President of the Musumeci Region with the veterinarians of the public health service. One of the priorities that the President has asked to address and resolve as soon as possible, in addition to tuberculosis and brucellosis, was the problem of wild boars and other large wild animals that continue to create problems for farmers, looking more and more at the protection of the territory and at the sustainability of production.
The meat of large game can be intended for family consumption of the hunter or placed on the market, with the supply to consumers, retailers, restaurants, with free marketing, creating profit by solving the problem. All this happens by guaranteeing the total consumer safety with control and traceability ".
