“It is with satisfaction that we read the first results obtained following the application of the Abatement plan of boars released yesterday by Province of Teramo": To speak are Massimo Sordini and Giuseppe Olivieri, provincial presidents of the hunting associations Arch Hunting ed Enalhunt together with Giovanni Muzii, president of the Environmental Protection Association URCA.
“These first results - continue the three presidents - do not come unexpected, at least as far as we are concerned. We have supported the Province Plan from the beginning, especially during the Service Conferences. Not everyone believed it, starting with the two Presidents of the Atc Salinello and Vomano who, on the other hand, also strongly contested it in the press as they considered it wrong and therefore ineffective ”.
“The Province has succeeded in a very difficult operation. It was a question of reconciling the needs of the farmers who asked for radical interventions to contain the wild boar and those of a part of the hunters who opposed the slaughter outside the hunting season and in any case in a low number only in the areas where the damage was concentrated and in the months of May and June ".
“With the Plan - continue the three presidents - the maximum result was obtained with the minimum commitment, reversing what was the trend of recent years in which the damage was constantly growing. The Plan could have given even better results if the shooting had been authorized within the provincial restocking and capture zones and in the zero tolerance zones for wild boar, that is, in areas where the wild boar emergency is maximum. Jokes that although foreseen by the Plan have not been authorized by the Province ".
"The Plan - conclude Sordini, Olivieri and Muzii - is part of the management strategy undertaken by the Regional Councilor Dino Pepe which, just to cope with the damage of wild boars, has recently introduced in Hunting Calendar 2015/2016 also there experimental selection hunt for wild boar ".
