The animal-environmentalist vision
People are really grasping at anything to contest the hunting reform currently under discussion. The LIPU extension (Italian League for Bird Protection), which has decided to combine the amendments to Law 157 of 1992 with the government's recent decision to make St. Francis a national holiday. With a specific petition, the association has asked whether it is possible to celebrate the saint of Assisi while simultaneously increasing the number of animals hunted. Indeed, in the animal-environmentalist perspective, the reform is always described in this way, as a disproportionate expansion of current hunting activities.
The appeal to Meloni
LIPU addressed Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni directly: “It's his duty to stop the worst bill in recent Italian history regarding nature. If passed, it would be a massacre, like in the 1960s, when spring hunting was practiced, small birds were trapped nonstop, and very few rules governed hunting.".
The reference to birds
The petition was titled “@Gioegia Meloni stop wild hunting!” and featured this underline: “We cannot celebrate St. Francis, who was aware, centuries ago, of the preciousness of birds, and at the same time support actions that will cull, capture, and kill migratory birds. It is irresponsible and unjust.".
