PIEDMONT - To implement the regional law on hunting. In particular, we will implement the provisions, in agreement with the other Associations of Local Authorities, from article 11, ie the designations in the Management Committees of Atc and Ca. The challenge of the law does not appear to concern fundamental parts of the law. On the key points, such as non-huntable species, the reorganization of Atc and Ca and the related incompatibilities, the Sundays of September closed to hunting, the possibility of hunting harmful species on their land, there have been no comments ”. Thus the President of Uncem Piemonte Lido Riba on the recent law 5 of 2018 on hunting.
"Uncem has always been on the side of breeders, of agricultural businesses, of those who play an active role in mountain areas - adds Riba - For this reason, both on the wolf question and on the proliferation of ungulates, we believe it is necessary to reopen careful reflection with the Piedmont Region and the other Regions of the Alpine arc. An action disconnected from pseudo-environmental constraints built without knowing the effort and commitment of those who keep the mountain territory alive. On ungulates, if the censuses confirm that there are too many, additional withdrawals must be allowed. The damage to breeders and farmers has increased over the years and businesses must be protected. On the wolf, the reflection is to be done at the level of the Alps. Wolf hunting is almost impossible. But we must act so that the coverage of the territory guaranteed by companies and margins is not demobilized.
The wolf moves in increasingly less populated areas, areas invaded by unmanaged woods. The Wolf Plan at a national level must start from the need to protect not only Alpine biodiversity, but above all man and his businesses that guarantee social and economic development in mountain areas. The presence of the wolf cannot undermine the presence of the mountaineers with the flocks of sheep and herds of cows to be taken to the mountain pastures, to pasture. For the mauled specimens, the compensation is always lower and the dogs, in addition to the nets, are not the solution. The Wolf Plan, which the Government and Parliament will have to analyze shortly after years of suspension, therefore restarts from the needs of mountaineers and breeders. Uncem is ready to do its part ”.
