The answer to animal rights activists
The response is sudden and conciseHon. Francesco Bruzzone, in response to the protests raised by animal rights NGOs on the DDL amending law 157/1992, filed by the League in the agriculture commission "Animal rights NGOs in the ball take boos for flasks only to cry scandal, mixing arguments contained in a hypothetical draft of Fdi, however withdrawn. This highlights not only a specious and purely ideological stance, but also the very little - if any - knowledge of the legislation and jurisprudence on the subject, of community law, not to mention environmental and wildlife dynamics.
The opportunistic species
The proposals presented by the League are of absolute common sense, supported by current legislation and jurisprudence, technical-legal reports and by concrete and official data that support small but necessary changes, essential to also address those macro problems linked to the expansion of opportunistic species such as the wild boar, to contain damage to agriculture and to prevent situations linked to public safety such as road accidents caused by wildlife and the spread of zoonoses and diseases such as ASF. On the hunting front, I remember that in Europe hunting calendars are included in law or approved by legislative act and not by administrative act, as happens in neighboring France.
The role of hunters
Going against prudent and common sense proposals means going against the entire environmentalist world: considering the degree of depletion of habitats and the faunal imbalance linked to the demographic explosion of generalist and alien species, human intervention is essential and Hunters are today the only formed category that continues concretely and free of charge to work for the protection of the environment. Between the increase in invasive species, the loss of habitats and climate change, many species in Italy are at risk of extinction, but perhaps animal rights activists are fine with this, the important thing is to find an enemy regardless and perhaps continue to receive generous funding public and private, wallowing in the increasingly widespread wildlife-environmental illiteracy, a chronic disease of modern times.
