"The modification of theart. 44 of the Regional Law 10/04 where it governs the control of wildlife. A strong deterrent against the uncontrolled proliferation of wild boars which in 2020 have increased exponentially also due to the limitations linked to the pandemic crisis from Covid-19 putting agricultural crops at serious risk. For this reason as Cia-Italian Farmers we have proposed to the Abruzzo region to reactivate containment activities coordinated by the provincial police to protect farmers and motorists ".
Thus Mauro DiZo, President of the CIA-Agricoltori Italiani Abruzzo, underlined the importance of the modification of art. 44 of the law "Organic regulations for the exercise of hunting activities, the protection of homeothermic wildlife and the protection of the environment" following sentence no. 217/2018 of the Constitutional Court which declared the constitutional illegitimacy of the fifth sentence of paragraph 2, limited to the words “and of the hunters registered or admitted to the ATCs concerned, nominally indicated by the management committees”. La proposed amendment follows the article of the regional law of the Marche region, also challenged before the Constitutional Court and rejected by the same.
In support of the reasons of Cia Abruzzo there is a further sentence which confirms the position of the Tuscany Region, leader in trying to solve critical issues related to fauna and the impact this has on agriculture and the environment. According to the constitutional judges they are correct, therefore, the acts adopted by the Region which, for the control of wildlife, identify the voluntary hunting guards, the private security guards and volunteer operators belonging to the hunting world adequately trained and always under the coordination of the provincial police."
As the critical period of damage to agricultural crops by wildlife approaches, it is necessary that the law is amended as soon as possible and no later than the month of March ", concludes Di Zio," We are sure of the correct and effective sense of responsibility of the groups of each regional councilor who, together with the presidents of the regional council and council, the councilor for agriculture and the president of the agriculture and environment, are the recipients of the letter ".
