As they usually say, there is always a first time in life and this sentence is perfect for describing what happened in Puglia. The board of the Metropolitan City of Bari approved the regulation for programming and planning of the hunting and control of wild boars. This is precisely the first time that the hunting of ungulates has been regulated by the local authority, a necessary intervention due to the damage caused, more and more huge. The metropolitan area is experiencing difficult times from an agricultural and forest-pastoral point of view.
Il regulation was approved after the report of the managing director for the Promotion and Coordination of Economic Development, Antonio Stragapede. The latter wanted to underline how the text was shared by hunting associations, agricultural world e environmental associations.
Furthermore, one of the objectives to be achieved will be to train subjects qualified for wild boar hunting, with a consequent greater rationalization of the collection of wild animals. Effective damage prevention strategies will also need to be promoted, empowering teams in charge of the hunt and turn. Finally, the Metropolitan City of Bari intends to adopt biometric measures and health assessment of the culled animals.
