"Um brado contra as monterias de cerco aos Lobos na Provincia do Alemtejo" by José Paulo de Mira is a critical treatise written in the late 19th century. This publication reflects on the practices of wolf hunting, particularly the methods of organized hunts known as “monterias,” that were prevalent in the Alentejo region of Portugal. It articulates the author's concerns over the decline in effectiveness and order of these hunts due to changes in societal structure, hunting practices, and agricultural development. In the text, Mira draws upon his extensive experience to lament the deterioration of traditional hunting methods, offering a thorough critique of contemporary practices that have led to poor outcomes and increased disorder during hunts. He discusses the role of local authorities, the involvement of peasants, and complaints regarding logistical challenges posed by the agricultural calendar. He suggests alternatives such as partial hunts to reduce disruption to farming while still targeting wolves, proposing a reward system to incentivize hunters. Ultimately, Mira emphasizes a return to more structured practices to ensure effective and safe hunting, showcasing a blend of nostalgia and pragmatism in his reflections on these traditional activities.
