Yet another full-blown aggression. While the capture of hares in Alto Milanese Park (between Milan, Varese and Legnano), some activists of the animal rights movement META have devastated tools and materials that belonged to the people present, without missing the classic heavy insult to hunters. The operation had just begun and served to protect the crops in the area, transferring the various animals to other areas, more suited to their needs.
The animal rights activists were stationed early in the morning and decided to stop everything, despite the activity being lawful and authorized by the Lombardy Region. Leading the group of activists was Valerio Vassallo, known in the news for several such episodes and also for a private life that is not exactly clear. According to Vassallo, the sectoral laws would not have been respected with the lack of involvement of ISPRA.
Furthermore, META contested the unsuitability of the ferret to flush out the hares. The capture was suspended and the hunters denied any charges to the sender. In a nutshell there was nothing irregular and the Carabinieri intervened precisely following the attack. As pointed out by the hunters themselves, the intention was to intervene but then nothing was done to avoid the loss of the hunting license.
