The opinions of ISPRA and the Ministry
“The negative opinions of Ispra and the Ministry of the Environment will not allow the Sardinia Region to extend the wild boar hunt also in the month of February. Decision that was taken considering the data on road accidents (over 1.200) and the huge damage to agriculture reported by trade associations. However, a road has been indicated that could allow hunting in different periods, also making use of hunters.
The words of commissioner Porcu
We are committed to following it as soon as possible, also by making the appropriate regulatory changes to regional legislation". This was stated by the regional councilor for the defense of the environment, Marco Porcu, on the occasion of the meeting of the regional wildlife committee. “The proliferation of the wild boar, but also of other species, constitutes a serious problem which, albeit with the utmost respect for nature, deserves to be tackled seriously, without any ideological conditioning.
The strategy to implement
Therefore, in the next few days we will hold a series of meetings with the hunting and category associations, as well as all the stakeholders, to discuss the best strategy to implement to achieve the goal", added councilor Porcu (source: Region Sardinia).
