The hunters of Finale Ligure show all their anger over the issue of lead ammunition, "The hunting associations do not defend us".
Criticism from the "Gruppo Cacciatori Finalesi" for the resolution on hunting adopted by the Regional Council of Liguria regarding the use of non-toxic ammunition for ungulates, where a potential hazard has also been found for humans.
"If this were true - say the hunters - it is hoped that all the surveillance and prevention bodies for public health have been notified (Nas, Asl, Asl Veterinaria), concern for us also confirmed by the fact that a sentence of the Tar of 17 last September with regard to an appeal by environmental associations led to the suspension of the use of lead ammunition, a situation which, however, appears to be only in Liguria and Basilicata; Emilia Romagna seems to have appealed to the Council of State and won, we phoned Piedmont, Lombardy and Tuscany where they are amazed that this situation has arisen in Liguria, based on an opinion from ISPRA ”.
“Why then did the environmental associations not also appeal in all the Regions? At the same time we do not understand the behavior of the Hunting Associations towards the ISPRA theses and we do not see their firm stance for the defense and protection of the rights of their members ”.
