“We thank Councilor Morroni - declared the President Cia-Italian Farmers Umbria Matteo Bartolini - for having considered one of our proposals on a problem that we have strongly denounced for years: the need to review the hunting fauna plan. We consider the decision of more than reasonable reduce waiting times, giving the farmer the possibility to intervene promptly, protecting his work and his income, while safeguarding the possibility of requesting compensation when necessary.
In Italy, to date, we are witnessing the paradox according to which per self-defense a citizen who catches an attacker in private property can shoot, but the same right does not seem to be recognized as easily for the farmer who suffers economic damage from the animal that destroys the crop". As the CIA, we are aware that this is only one piece in the great proposal to amend the Hunting Law 157/92 that we have been asking for for years. We therefore trust in subsequent meetings with the Ass. Morroni to evaluate in detail the document of new Wild Boar Management Plan which will be presented by April, as announced.
