Galicia has taken the first step in the protection of the wolf and marks a hopeful path to be able to reverse the hunt for this animal. Everything responds to Precautions suspension determined by Galician Justice As long as each copy is not killed.
He Xustiza de Galicia Superior Court (TSXG) Last Wednesday announced the precautionary suspension of the resolution of the Xunta that the hunt of the wolf for the Season 2024-2025After an environmental source, and this can be in other autonomous communities.
In contrast to other communities such as Asturia and Cantabria, where specific lobos hunt quotas are and copies have already been killed, the Xunta resolution did not set quotas “but noted that Hunter Society could ask them to kill them to kill them If damage is verified by cattle«.
Galicia’s precedent in Wolf Protection
Galicia is the first community in which justice of precautions has suspended the hunt of the wolf, a decision that arrives when no copy had been killed and that a precedent can mark for other regions, Although the Xunta intends to take with you.
The Superior Court of Xustiza de Galicia (TSXG) announced the precautions on Wednesday of the resolution of the Xunta that repeated the hunt of the Wolf for the 2024-2025 season after a source of environmental organizations. This decision, which influences the current hunting season It ends on July 31, it arrived before they started killing wolves.
In contrast to other Loberas communities such as Asturia and Cantabria, where there are specific hunting quotas and copies, the resolution of the Xunta has not set a quota, but noted that Hunter Society could ask them if there is “verified damage” to life.
The general directorate Natural Heritage processed various applications in Lugo, a Coruña and Ourense and authorized two in the last two provinces that were “justified enough”, but they had not yet given any results, the Ministry of the Environment reported.
These authorizations have been suspended for the judicial order, in the hands of the environmental activistsThat they hope that it can serve as a precedent in comparable cases that are opened before the court in other autonomous communities.
These environmental entities have also resorted to the next resolution of the Xunta, which establishes the orders of Vedas for the hunting season 2025-2026 and that establishes it It will apply from 1 August and expect the TSXG response to these means.
“We trust that for the precautions that we also asked by the court, it will be pronounced in the same direction,” they have pointed out, while making sure that the car “feels a very good precedent.”
Also in the light of other Loberas communities, where justice has rejected similar precautions, as happened in Asturia and Cantabria.
«Judicial cars are not alien outside the autonomous borders. Of course, the superior courts of other communities will see, analyze and trust that this criterion », They have insisted on it.
For its part, the Minister of Environment, Ángeles Vázquez, is “convinced” that they will resort and have denounced the differences with other regions this Thursday: “In Galicia we can have no other behavior than we have in Cantabria or Asturia.”
Vázquez, who regrets that the farmer is “unprotected” and has insisted that the number of the Xunta Census, who are “true”, suggest that the wolves packages have grown from the 84 that were today in 2014 to 93.
However, the court believes that this information is demonstrating “The increase, limited, herds occurs in most shared areas”With Castilla y León, Asturia or Portugal, and that the rest of the rises, except in Lugo -Ters Manadas – are not “significant”.
The Xunta has also spread that there is a daily average of ten deaths of cattle by wolves, and that between 2021 and 2024 the attacks by attacks 76 % and the affected cattle grew 57 %. This data is not sufficient for the TSXG: He said that “qualitative or quantitative” information has been offered about cattle damage, and that “are not reversible, they are compensatory.”
The figures were the target between the Xunta and the Central Government, and last week Vázquez again warned that it will be “vigilant”, so that the data sent “are not proposed wrong” in the six -year report on the state of preservation of the wolf that the ministry prepares for the ecological transition.
With paralyzed yacht, those who are not happy are the farmers; Agricultural associations have asked for “agility” to solve it and has warned about the “consequences” that it can have on the balance of the rural environment of Galicische.
«Galician society must know that the wolf is not in the danger of extinction in Galicia And that nobody defends their disappearance on the territory. However, it is necessary to control their populations and to guarantee their damage to guarantee reasonable coexistence, “he defended. EFE / ECOTICIA.COM
