Il Circle "Il Picchio" of the association Legambiente has decided to give away a shotgun, the first prize of a lottery organized in Giffoni Valle Piana, in the province of Salerno. The news could not help but make noise, the environmental association has been accused of be favorable to hunting and even the second prize, a sport fishing rod, turned up their noses.
Initially it was thought of a hoax, but the president of the club confirmed everything, explaining how it is necessary dialogue with hunters, really numerous in this area of Campania. However, the president himself made it clear that he did not want to promote dialogue, but simply sport. The prizes have not yet been awarded and instead of the gun it was possible to choose a basket of typical local products.
Legambiente Campania examined the affair and decided to suspend the Giffoni club, the lottery was not liked at all by the regional president of the environmentalists, Michele Buonomo, who spoke of "A terribly true big bullshit".
