Wild boar hunting: Viterbo - The provincial council has approved the early opening of wild boar hunting in October, only in the form of a hunt for teams registered in the provincial register. Councilor Vita: “It is necessary to prevent and limit damage to agriculture”.
The established dates are 2, 16, 20 and 23 October. To comply with the provisions of regional hunting calendar and of the regulation in force for the 2014/2015 season, the anticipated hunting days will be made up later on 17 November and 25 December 2014, 1 and 19 January 2015.
“This is - explained the provincial councilor for hunting Franco Vita - a decision that we have taken to meet the numerous requests of farmers, with the aim of limiting the damage to crops caused by wildlife. As everyone knows, it is increasingly difficult for the Province to economically cope with the compensation requested, which is why it has become essential to focus on prevention, also through the use of selective operations, entrusted to the teams registered in the appropriate register.
The Province of Viterbo - adds the commissioner - has therefore decided to authorize the carrying out of wild boar hunting operations starting from the month of October, respecting then through the recoveries already established, the total number of days set by the regional hunting calendar. Of course the hunting it must be carried out in full compliance with the provisions of the law. In October, only batting operations will be allowed, i.e. carried out by authorized teams and not by individual hunters.
This - explains Vita - in the spirit of the provincial regulation for wild boar hunting recently revisited and adopted by the Provincial Council, which aims to combine the need to protect the wildlife heritage with the legitimate right of farmers not to have their crops devastated " .
The Department is also providing for the assignment of areas reserved for batting activities. "I take this opportunity - concludes Vita - to wish sincere good luck to all the hunters of Tuscia on the occasion of the general opening of the hunting season on 21 September and for the subsequent opening of the wild boar hunting. The invitation I address to hunters is to respect the rules, in order not to incur the penalties provided for by law, it being understood that the provincial police, as usual, will not fail to carry out the necessary checks ".
