The Valle d’Aosta League asks the regional council to “implement every useful action” to make ibex hunting possible.
Not including it either among the huntable species or among those particularly protectedlaw 157/92 predicts a fine and imprisonment from three months to a year for anyone who kills, captures or holds specimens of ibex: to make hunting possible the regional council of the Aosta Valley, if possibly involved in the motion that the council will discuss in the next session (Wednesday 8 and Thursday 9 May, it is the fortieth item on the agenda), will therefore have to start a discussion with the Meloni government and the parliamentary forces.
For the Valle d’Aosta LeagueThat the motion presented it (first signatory Christian Ganis), the time may have come to reduce the bans: from a recent study of the Uncza in fact, it emerges that the species is widely distributed in the Alps where more than 50,000 specimens are found, 15,000 of which on the Italian side. Furthermore, Annex V of the Habitats Directive includes the ibex among the species of community interest, the harvesting and exploitation of which could be the subject of management measures; and the motion states that in 2004 the Infs, now Ispra, at the request of the Uncza had expressed a non-contrary opinion.
