its very surprising but it seems we are just in time and "Hunting in Italy" is just the spirit of the age http://www.repubblica.it/ambiente/2016/0...356/?ref=search

the italian newspaper "Repubblica" had an article about the wolf problem, now in italy, and came with the surprising answer "The Ministry of Environment, in a document prepared by the Italian Zoological Union, in substance announces that, after spending so many millions for the protection of Canis lupus, now we need to invest some EURO in bullets."

you from other parts of the world probably knowing that mister wolf is the new holy cow of the EU bureaucrats who try hand in hand with pervert and brain washed animal rights activist to hold mister wolf in an untouchably position.
so no wonder they make a loud howling about anyone who see it from the other end.

"The return of the wolves is scary to the shepherds. "needing a plan to shoot them"

Towards a derogation from EU rules. "Too much damage for farmers."
The Lav: "Step back 50 years"

The return of the wolves is scary to the shepherds. "needing a plan to shoot them"
There were spent tens of millions to return the wolves in our woods and mountains. They were almost extinct in 1971, when we started their protection. Now - although it is hard to count, no cows in the barn - are between 1,070 and 2,452 in the Apennines, between 100 and 150 in the Alps. The Ministry of Environment, in a document prepared by the Italian Zoological Union, in substance announces that, after spending so many millions for the protection of Canis lupus, now we need to invest some EURO in bullets. In bureaucratic terms, the proposed "exceptions to the ban from the removal of the wolf". It also puts a limit on these "withdrawals": 5%. But even before the plan to become effective (Tuesday the meeting between the Ministry and the Regions Conference) leave heavy controversy. "The ministry - denounces the Lav, animal rights - after 45 years will enable killings of wolves and hybrids, and will make it even possible to hunt down stray dogs".

Removals and withdrawals come after that, for decades, considerable resources have also been spent to reimburse farmers for damage. Symbol of the province may be to Grosseto, for the high presence of these animals and the consequent protests of sheep owners, calves and donkeys who found disemboweled beasts or wounds. In recent years some have applied a "DIY justice", making finding of wolves heads and carcasses killed by the roadside. In 2010 - the data are reported by Lav - in this province that is home to about half of the 550-600 between wolves and hybrids of Tuscany - 2,296,659 Euros have been spent to prevent or remove the wolf-dog crosses. In 2011, € 1,657,636 was invested to prevent conflicts between wolves and human activities. In 2014, 281 793 euro to pay pastors and other breeders have been spent. In the same year he left the regional plan, a three-year, to repay the breeders with 4 million euro. If the percentage compared to the other provinces will be the same in recent years, Grosseto would receive in total, from 2010 to the end of this year, 6,335,107 Euros. When the news of the last funds allocated for the damage has been featured on The Tirreno, a player has suffered commented: "The wolves? We spend less to send them out to the restaurant."

Canis lupus is not the only animal that creates problems. From 1980 to 2010 - we read in the ministerial document - the deer has increased by 700%, 350% of the roe deer, the chamois of 120%, 300% of the mouflon. The boar, uncensored in 1980, since 2000 has increased by 400% and that's why in Tuscany hunting was open all year. But the "withdrawal" of the wolf poses serious problems. The Habitats Directive 92/43 EEC defines "priority species" and prohibits "capture, killing, disturbance, possession, transport, trade and marketing." But exceptions have been obtained from France, Spain and Sweden. In the ministerial document states that Italy requesting the derogation to limit the "social tension", especially in areas where the species "has returned after decades of absence and where farming methods are developed which, to be compatible with the the wolf, require costly preventive measures ". So the "withdrawal of some specimens" may "serve other actions to prevent and mitigate the damage."

Agree with most of the farmers and ranchers plan. "Finally - says Stefano Masini, environmental manager for the Coldiretti - the government has realized that workers can no longer withstand the constant attacks of livestock predators. Eliminating some head too aggressive can really reduce social conflict. We do not like, instead, the proposal to reduce the pastures and agriculture in marginal areas of the mountain where the wolf is present. These are lands where young farmers are building, even with European funds, their activities. "

Strong protest of Lav. "The ministerial plan - says Massimo Vitturi, responsible for wild animals - speaks of" conservation and management of the wolf "but it is actually a step back almost half a century. It is unacceptable, from a scientific standpoint and even more under the moral. The cutting - there are studies across Europe - not by decreasing predation. And the opening of hunting does not stop poaching, indeed. If the system endorse the killing of the wolf, the poacher will feel a benefactor. "

"We sent our opinions to the ministry - continues Vitturi - but we had no answer. The latest draft is worse than before. It involves the killing of stray dogs and wolf-dogs not only in protected areas but also in rural areas. in addition to stray, they will also be killed ownership dogs who are lost? ". The plan is not approved yet, but already start the first "shot". For now, with blanks."
