After the stance of Federcaccia Bergamo, convinced that it is impossible to reopen them, me too'Lombard Hunters Association he wanted to talk about roccoli. ACL prefers to use this term rather than "capture plants", a real tradition that is a symbol of passion and commitment. The tradition has lasted for centuries and it is precisely for this reason that there is not the same disillusionment of the Bergamo hunters, but the will to keep the roccoli in business.
They must not be exploited as a didactic attraction, but return to play their role. The Lombard Hunters recalled the example of Friuli Venezia Giulia, the region managed to reactivate some plants for scientific reasons, despite some limitations. In this way the breeding continued, otherwise they would have risked extinction.
The Lombardy Region has not adopted resolutions on hunting in derogation and has not asked to reopen the roccoli, but the association has promised commitment and clarity on this topic, also in Europe. The same Region (in particular the Northern League and the majority of the Giunta) was invited to follow the example of Friuli, seeking with will and determination the reopening of the coils.
Perhaps ACL forgets to tell its associates that Friuli Venezia Giulia is a region with a special status, they have opened the roccoli by virtue of this recognition.
In Lombardy I see it as very hard that the reopening can take place, such as the granting of hunts in derogation to Fringuello and Peppola, because here it is Europe that is against it.
We no longer deceive people for nothing, perhaps it is better to tell them the truth once and for all, even if I know it will be bitter.
