A Rovigo we have been discussing foxes for a few days and their total number. In particular, as reported by RovigoOggi.it, the hunters of the Alto Polesine are convinced that the animal represents a real emergency in this part of the Veneto, taking into account the fact that the breeders from Rovigo are in revolt after having lost up to 150 hens in about twelve months. There is serious consideration of asking for hunting as an exception, avoiding the adoption of too complicated or restrictive regulations.
One of the most affected areas is undoubtedly that of Lendinara, but it is not the only one: the problem of nocturnal raids in chicken coops has been going on for years and a satisfactory solution has not yet been found. On the other hand, we must also take into account the changes that has undergone wildlife distribution in this area.
Federcaccia Rovigo suggested a significant expansion of the rules governing hunting, so as to finally keep foxes under control. The acceptance of such a proposal is somewhat uncertain, given that when it came to fox hunting (not only in the Veneto municipality) the clashes between hunters and animal rights activists before the Regional Administrative Court.
