He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himFrom 1 October in Tuscany, it will be possible to hunt wild boars not only in the woods but also near the cultivated fields. Resolution 843 approved last July by the regional council has, in fact, introduced the possibility of hunting wild boar in hunt, therefore with dogs, even in areas not suitable for the period October-December 2020 (two days a week, Monday and Thursday, starting after 10 am).
A real massacre of wild boars accused of causing damage to crops. While farmers and hunters are celebrating, the position of animal welfare organizations lasts.
"Adding the" non-suitable areas "to wild boar hunting, that is, as stated in the resolution, the bushy and wooded areas that offer shelter to wild boars, constitutes a greater risk for citizens and a limitation to free movement", explains Massimo Comparotto of Oipa.
From tomorrow, taking a walk or an excursion in the "non-suitable areas" will therefore be at your own risk, the association says, commenting:
"Instead of resorting to non-bloody alternative methods, such as sterilization, for the management of the wild boar population, whose growth was determined by forced entry into the territory, shotguns are unleashed, putting public safety at risk".
According to the resolution, the intervention areas will be primarily those affected by damage to agriculture by wild boar during 2020 ".
