“Thanks to the selection hunt activated by Lombardy region, in less than a month they were shot down 477 wild boars: 272 in Como, 127 in Varese, 66 in Lecco and 12 in Brescia, where the activity started a few days ago ”. It lets you know Fabio Rolfi, regional councilor for Agriculture, Food and Green Systems, regarding the selection of wild boar hunting. “Important numbers - underlines the commissioner -, which testify the widespread presence of ungulates in our region and which, once again, make us understand the dimensions of the question.
Wild boars are a problem for agriculture and for the safety of people. We will continue to dialogue with the territories and with the other institutional bodies, to understand which ones may be more effective measures and put them into practice as quickly as possible ". “I thank the hunters, who are carrying out a useful activity for the whole society - adds Rolfi -. The Lombardy Region this year also introduced the practice of foraging, which is proving effective.
To safeguard the work of our farmers, the de minimis regime must be changed at national level. Farmers must be compensated in full for the damage to wildlife and not only for 30% ". “The Region continues its action to combat wildlife, which, from the plains to the mountains, is creating enormous damage - concludes the regional councilor -. The alliance between farmers and hunters is the first step to stem the problem".
