It takes a lot of courage for the owner, as a newspaper recently did, “The hunt is over, let's enjoy the wetlands - Oasis and natural parks open on weekends. After the tragic balance of the hunting activity. appointment with the animals to be protected… ”: how do you explain to those who have no intention of real confrontation that the existence of those wetlands, especially in Tuscany, is linked to hunting? The Fucecchio Marshes, like the Chiari della Trappola in Maremma, not to mention the lake of Chiusi - Chianciano and many other areas, including the hunting lakes of the Florentine plain, are magical places that hunters have managed by investing passion, energy, knowledge and money.
The Sunday environmentalists are sure they can say the same about their areas, often financed with public money and in some cases crowded up to the point of "voyeurs": they demurely call it birdwatching, of course we know that it often annoys the fauna to the point to encourage emigration to less "commercial" places. No, they just can't give up the ritual of the final shot, at each closing of the hunting season!
That then, to be honest, the hunting season ends but, by stealing the title from a good initiative of the Grosseto Federcaccia, one is "hunters all year": hanging up the gun, unless you are called for interventions urgency to re-establish compromised balance in protected areas or valuable agricultural productions, the management activity begins for enthusiasts.
In the humid areas not precluded from hunting, there is a need to do the mowing, ensure adequate areas for rest and reproduction and so on. Free!! Interventions that will also benefit hunters for a short period of the year, but which produce positive and lasting effects for the fauna and the territory. The looting for accidents does not even deserve to be mentioned: the attached note from Face Italia and CNCN responds well, recounting the efforts made to increase safety more and more.
Instead, the habit of shooting big at her deserves severe censorship, as in the case of the sanctions that our country would have suffered due to alleged concessions to hunting lobbies: circumscribed episodes such as those of the vaunted "victories" in appeals to the TAR: often precautionary suspensions superseded by the judgments of merit.
