Article n ° 20 of the legislative revision law approved in Lombardy Regional Council introduces for the Provincial Police the obligation (and no longer the sole faculty) to make use of specifically trained volunteer workers and enabled in the execution of the plans killing of the most invasive species such as wild boar: moreover, the same wild boars and all ungulates from now on can also be hunted where the ground is covered with snow even outside the faunal area of the Alps. "For extreme evils, extreme remedies - stresses the President of the Regional Council Alessandro Fermi- .
Drastic measures are needed to face the ever-increasing emergency it is causing massive damage to farmers and in some cases it also constitutes a threat to the safety and security of people, in particular in the Como area from Valle d'Intelvi to Olgiatese, where in the last year about half of the wild boars of the total number have been killed Lombard. Prevention is always better than cure and costs much less: the amount of costs for damage caused by wild boars is constantly increasing and falls on the pockets of the municipalities and citizens, without these having any responsibility ”.
Within the statutory regulatory revision law, also approved an article that authorizes the stipulation of specific collaboration agreements to optimize the management and functioning of territorial hunting areas sharing services and personnel and thus facilitating the containment and killing of wild boars. Finally, acknowledging some solicitations that emerged from local administrators and representatives of the agricultural world and hunting in the Val d'Intelvi on the occasion of recent meetings held in the area with the President Fermi and the Regional Councilor for Agriculture Fabio Rolfi, agreements are allowed and promoted between hunting associations and agricultural associations to favor the local production of sedentary native game to be used in hunting and wildlife, following the example of what is already happening in other provinces such as Mantua
