The updating of huntable species ( the feral domestic pigeon, the collared dove, the starling and the fallow deer are included), the extension of the wild boar hunting season (until the first ten days of February), extraordinary measures to contain wild boar, compensation for damage to farmers caused by wild fauna, valorization of the active role of the hunter (surveillance and protection to safeguard the flora and fauna).

These are the key points of the Brothers of Italy's bill in the Regional Council to amend the Sardinian hunting law, which dates back to 1998, in light of new developments introduced by European and national legislation.
The first signatory is Emanuele Cera, who illustrated it with the group leader Paolo Truzzu and the councilors Piga, Rubiu, Mula, Masala, Usai and Meloni.

The need for a revision of the regional law (dating back approximately thirty years) was highlighted by the group leader Truzzu who underlined «the opportunity for greater protection for hunting activities» .


In the speeches by Councilors Piga, Mula, and Rubiu, the desire to reaffirm the role and dignity of the hunter ("freeing the field from ideological visions that, even in the recent past, have penalized debate and discussion on the issue") was emphasized, along with the urgent need for more effective regulatory interventions to limit the damage to crops caused by the uncontrolled proliferation of wild fauna (crows, wild boars, starlings, and pigeons), which in many cases compromises the economic sustainability of entire agricultural and livestock sectors.

The FdI councillors defined the proposed law as "open" to represent the desire to activate initiatives for discussion not only with the forces of the council majority but above all with hunting associations and agricultural organisations, so as to share with operators and territories the main measures and interventions to be adopted.
