Seeking consensus
Every occasion is a good one. Unfortunately, we know this to our cost: in the case of the discovery of a bird of prey or a wolf for example, which may then turn out to be dead from natural causes (yes, even animals, but many animal rights activists seem to ignore this, die of old age or accidents, just like human beings), when reporting the news, "inserting" hunting and hunters into the report. increase your audience and increase clicks and likesWhatever the reality of the facts, it matters very little.
The discovery of the carcasses
Imagine how television networks—and various newspapers, moreover, ideologically aligned—could pass up the opportunity to use the news of the discovery of—so far—55 carcasses and partial remains of dogs, and a cat, in Scossicci, in the province of Macerata, to point the finger at the "world of hunting and breeding." In reality, these are just speculations without any official confirmation, while the investigation is still ongoing and, according to the investigators themselves, is not even easy.
The usual story
It's the same old story that always gets the better of us: the hunting dog is no good, it's old, it's sick... in short, it's a burden? The bad hunter gets rid of it, if he can, by abandoning it or, in the worst case, killing it. It's obviously irrelevant that nothing discovered so far actually points in this direction, and indeed, one of the few identifiable carcasses belongs to a Maremma Sheepdog, and therefore certainly not a hunting dog.
Federcaccia's comment
What's currently circulating, especially regarding a discovery made over a month ago, is, as usual, embarrassing and unacceptable. It's embarrassing for the media, which, instead of reporting objectively based news, is giving vent to defamatory insinuations and one-sided hypotheses, blaming—and this is unacceptable, as always—an entire category of people who actually have an emotional bond with their dogs and relationships that are very different from the ones they've been trying to misrepresent for years, in order to paint the hunter as a despicable and unfeeling figure. Of course, we can't say otherwise either. We don't have the proof to confirm that the perpetrator, or perpetrators, of this infamous act, evidently repeated over time, is not a hunter, but before making any pronouncements, we're waiting for the investigators to provide the results of their investigations. We therefore hope that those investigating the facts will devote all the necessary attention and care to identifying those responsible as quickly as possible. And I can assure you that if the involvement of a hunter is proven, "From members of the hunting world, Federcaccia will be the first to express its firm condemnation, and not just in words, standing alongside the judicial bodies. We give the weight they deserve, that is, nothing, to gossip, rumors, and slander. However, we cannot fail to remind the press of their due ethical duty to truthfully report on the facts, which should guide every article they write." This is how President Buconi commented on the latest news about the so-called Scossicci cemetery of horrors (source: Federcaccia).
