“Since last year, the Secretariat has thought of ending the wild boar hunting modality with jaulaugh, not the hunting itself because we are a province that hunts foreign species, which are not to blame for having been found in our environment, but the human being and did, and in the province we use sport hunting to control these species”, commented Fabián Llanos, Undersecretary for Biodiversity and Climate Change from Rio Negro.
“Although it seeks to reduce the species through hunting, it does not seek to make it suffer. For thisthey spoke with hunting clubs and it was resolved to hold a public hearing by zoom to discuss the issue. The hunters did not participate because some understood that only they should participate and not the rest of society, as protectionists.”, concluded the Rio Negro president.
