"Wild boars continue to be a problem throughout Lombardy. In Lodi they have already caused one death. The ideological and anti-hunt vision of the Ministry of the Environment is proving to be harmful ”. This was stated by the Lombard regional councilor for Agriculture, Food and Green Systems Fabio Rolfi about the problems generated by the presence of wild boars in Lombardy. “The situation is in danger of going out of control - argues Rolfi - due to anachronistic laws.
I am ready to accompany Lombard farmers and hunters to Rome to ask the ministry to move. We need one choral mobilization of all regions together with the agricultural world. The containment activity carried out by hunters is necessary to protect the safety of agricultural crops and also of people, given the damage generated by wild boars.
Law 157 needs to be changed, expressly providing for the figure of the hunter as a voluntary operator, i.e. a trained figure who makes himself available to provincial police forces to contain the spread of this species. The hunters perform a free service to the community, given that the containment activity of the few remaining provincial police officers is insufficient". “Minister Centinaio is right: we must bring back the jurisdiction over hunting to the Ministry of Agriculture. In this way we would have a more pragmatic and concrete vision of the problems ”concludes Rolfi.
