The press office of the Italian Hunting Union has released an official note to point out various aspects that are affecting the world of hunting. In particular, SVI referred to the fact that the hunter category is continuously muddied, mocked, offended and threatened da unscrupulous and rather violent animal rights activists.
Such treatment is reserved for honest people with sound moral principles, as well as with an immaculate criminal record: hunters just want to practice their passion respecting the laws and despite everything they are insulted and threatened with death everyday. The trade unions then investigated the matter, gathering all the information on the matter and decided to intervene with the national president Mauro Panella.
The goal is to defend all hunters by submitting a complaint-lawsuit against those who profess to be animal rights activists. Trade associations were asked to take the same line, so defend the image of the hunter. In recent days, an animalist has become the protagonist of an incredible gesture, the kidnapping of an English setter in the province of Trento.
