Between council resolutions, finally approved bills and agendas the last week has partly changed the discipline of hunting in Liguria: it has had the greatest impact of all The vote of the regional council (17 in favour, 12 against) on bill 179 («Provisions for the adaptation of regional legislation»)which provides that for live decoys the only rings to have legal value are those issued by the Region (the possession and use of decoys that are not thus identified are therefore prohibited, even in the presence of the breeder’s mark) and that “both for health reasons and for the protection of public safety” the recovery of injured wild boars is possible even after the end of hunting hours.
Two other passages are also linked to the boar: for foraging there is a double sanction, administrative plus criminal; It is running of the latest ordinance of the Commissioner for African Swine Fever, a council resolution makes it possible to consume the meat available after depopulation actions within the restriction zones: the negative test must be added, in that territory, to the absence of positive cases in the last quarter.
The council now has another task: approved by the council unanimously, the agenda 1186 signed by the Northern League member Sonia Viale commits her to oblige the owners of mixed breed dogs “potentially problematic” to obtain a specific license.
