Confederation of Tuscan Hunters on the accident estimates of hunting disclosed and "pumped" by the animal rights activists of Lav and Enpa, increasingly "short of ideas and numbers".
It is typical of lies: if you repeat them consistently and above all if the media give you space, in the end, even the most improbable shots end up leaving some doubts among the most naïve. Thus, at the end of each hunting season, the animal welfare associations do their utmost in an attempt to speculate on the accidents that occur while hunting. According to the Lav, which takes up data provided by the Association of victims of hunting, there were 22 deaths; always too many, but hunting continues to be one of the activities that, statistics in hand, has an accident rate, in terms of frequency and severity, among the lowest ever. In fact, from a survey published by Asaps it emerges that every day in Italy a cyclist loses his life and 40 are hospitalized.
Istat statistics record 15.713 accidents with 352 dead cyclists. In the mountains, in 2012, among hikers, skiers, mountaineers and practitioners of other disciplines there was an impressive accident: there were 1.069 seriously injured and 383 dead (source National Alpine and Speleological Rescue Corps). And the list of data and numbers could go on but, you know, there is no worse deaf than those who do not want to hear the truth.
The Enpa instead fires on the alleged infringement procedures of the European Union against Italy due to the hunters' fault: it perhaps refers to those requests for clarification that a Minister in the mood for tests of strength and unwilling to study the papers has unjustifiedly transformed into a procedural risk by closing the hunt ten days in advance song thrush, Cesena and woodcock in contempt of the legitimate determinations adopted with legitimate calendars by the regions, Tuscany among them. While the appeals of the regions and associations are pending, the hope in this case is that in the meeting of 10 February between the Ministry and the Regions, the Minister will recognize the mistake and promise to be good, stopping once and for all to give in to the lobbies. animal welfare. For future reference.
