The tragic accident on the A1 motorway caused by the crossing of a herd of wild boars that caused the death of a young motorist and the wounding of 10 other people brought the problem of the proliferation of some wild species back to the news in the worst possible way. Unfortunately it is not that the last fatality and if the situation will remain in these terms, that is with a lack of legislation that is no longer sustainable, surely there will be other news events to record. What are we referring to?
Simple, due to the fact that the Government does not decide to make a change to the national legislation, Law 157/92 introducing the figure ofVolunteer wildlife operator. Today the control of wildlife when the hunting season is closed is entrusted to the agents of the Provincial Police of the Nucleo Ittico Venatorio and to the volunteer guards: just to make the ideaSingle Atc of Brescia it is made up of 132 municipalities and the Provincial Police agents are 7 with numerous tasks entrusted to them and work shifts of 8 hours for them with rest and holidays. Furthermore, it is evident that the Provincial Police has means that can hardly allow them to contain with satisfactory results wild populations which today are on the rise; we are not speaking only of wild boars but also of otters and pigeons.
The "ecological" alternatives proposed by the environmentalist world are not only ridiculous but above all ineffective. To date, in addition to many beautiful words, these gentlemen they have not been able to carry out a single concrete project that he could prove the truth of what they have been preaching for years. The wild emergency, present today in unsuitable areas such as the province of Lodi, scene of the road accident, show that only an effective and serious collaboration between public bodies and the hunting world can lead first to circumscribe the problem and then to contain it effectively. To contain the wild boars it takes experienced people, trained and equipped with trained dogs, to eradicate the nutria it takes many, many operators in the area, to eliminate the pigeons from farms and public places it takes serious and trained operators.
We have them, Federcaccia has them and we are willing to further train them, to equip them with technologically advanced means to identify problematic animals. Federcaccia is ready to sign a protocol with the Lombardy Region to implement the law desired by Pirellone in 2018 on wild boar management. But all this can happen only and only if Rome has the national law will be modified as voted, unanimously by the State Regions Conference already in July last year. The Working Table proposed by Minister Hundred it will remain unsuccessful if this modification to 157/92 is not made
