As disclosed by the CCT, the Tuscany Region has just approved the resolution for the collection of wild boars in unsuitable areas in 2019. In particular, the association underlined the resumption of an opinion from ISPRA on the possible foraging of ungulates during the selection hunting. In the paragraph of the provision we read how it is possible to “attractive” foraging wild animals for all 12 months, an opportunity granted to over 12 thousand Tuscan selecacciatori. The Confederation does not understand why the selection and control of the species is placed on the same level: in fact, the animals taken every year are almost 100 thousand (according to Objective Law) and 6-7% can be attributed to selective withdrawal, while 80% depends on the hunt and organized teams.
If foraging for containment purposes is valid and admissible for selection hunting, a fortiori, with equal requirements, should be valid for wild boar hunting teams that through the hunt perform a quantitatively greater control of the species on the Tuscan regional territory. The association recalled that it has been prohibited since 2016 foraging wild boars throughout Italy during the hunt. The placing of wild boars throughout the national territory is prohibited, with the exception of faunal-hunting companies and adequately fenced agri-tourism-hunting companies.
The sanction foreseen by article 30, paragraph 1, letter l), of the law 11 February 1992, n. 157. Wild boar foraging is prohibited, with the exception of that aimed at control activities. The sanction provided for by article 30, paragraph 1, letter l), of the aforementioned law no. 157 of 1992. The control activities, as known to ISPRA and the Tuscany Region, are those provided for by article 19 of Law 157 of 1992 (Article 37 of the implementation of the Tuscany Region) and do not concern hunting activities such as selection hunting and hunted hunting. The CCT believes that there is an attempt to discriminate the hunted hunting favoring the selection, therefore he asked for an urgent meeting to clarify the situation.
