Il Brescia Regional Administrative Court accepted the appeal presented by the Lega for the abolition of hunting and OIPA Italia regarding an order of Municipality of Isola Davarese, in the province of Cremona. This is the resolution it provides the killing of nutria and which was annulled by the judges as regards the inhabited centers. This means that hunters can only legally take action in rural areas, while respecting fixed dates and times.
Mayor Gianpaolo Gansi had prepared an accurate rodent containment plan, but now he will have to abide by regional law and provincial plans. The commander of the Provincial Police, Charles Caromani, said he was in favor of the sentence: the body is responsible for coordinating this activity e for some time the hunters have turned to the municipalities for ad hoc ordinances.
Caromani himself believes that the use of firearms gives poor results compared to traps. Among the other proposals that have been advanced there is that of an economic recognition of the qualified subjects who kill the otters, a sort of bounty on these animals.
