It has not been long since the protest by the Massa Carrara hunters as regards the cartography of the wild boar hunting in the Tuscan province. In fact, less than two weeks later, we have to deal with an identical controversy concerning a neighboring province, that of Grosseto. Specifically, the local section of the Coldiretti she said she was against the proposed law of the Tuscany Region with regard to suitable areas and those that are not suitable for this type of hunting.
The opinion was presented through the representative of the agricultural association in the Management Committee of the Territorial Hunting Area, Gaetano Zambrini, and put in the records of the same ATC Grosseto. According to the director of the local Coldiretti, Andrea Renna, the provisions of the law have not been respected by including in the areas not suited to the hoofed all the repopulation and capture areas, the cultivated areas subject to damage documented in the last five years, potentially damaging cultivated areas, potentially arable land to be restored to cultivation (including the wooded and bushy hamlets).
In addition, the law requires that the boundaries of the zones be shown along easily identifiable physical lines and this does not always happen. Containment interventions have been insufficient for the Grosseto growers e have caused the damage relating to cultivated areas to increase dramatically, without forgetting the risks for citizens. In the Tuscan province, wild boars are responsible for two thirds of the total damage to crops. The association's note ends with a clear stance: “The equation more wild boar less agriculture continues to produce devastating results for the sector which, with the advance of wildlife, sees the death of businesses increase and the disappearance of important realities for the economy and the presence of our territory ”.
