Food for thought
Call them emotions if you like. There's nothing wrong with expressing your feelings, but it's a shame that emotion is often the only technique available to animal-environmentalists to cast the hunting world in a bad (if not terrible) light. This is precisely the food for thought in the latest video posted on social media by Giulia Sottoriva, president of CONFAVI (Confederation of Italian Hunting Associations).
36 years of rejected referendums
These are his words: "Animal conservationists claim that the majority of public opinion is against hunting. Yet all anti-hunting referendums, both national and regional, held since 1990 have been overwhelmingly rejected. To support their claims, animal conservationists exploit emotion to appeal to people's sensibilities.".
What does it mean to manage wildlife?
Sottoriva then invited us to use our heads above all in this context: “Remember Bambi or have you recently seen photos of children crying over a bird killed by a hunter? Wildlife management requires rationality, not emotion, using all the technical and scientific knowledge that can ensure balance between all the various species, as well as compatibility between the presence of wildlife and human activities. Don't be fooled by the subtle persuasion techniques of animal conservationists. When addressing these issues, you need to use your head, not your stomach or other parts of the body.".
