With the publication on the Official Gazette the request submitted by 11 citizens to proceed with the promotion of the collection of at least 500.000 signatures in order to proceed with the request for a abrogative referendum. The question that has been filed and that would be submitted to Italian citizens if the proposers reach the goal of 500 valid signatures and if it passes the admissibility check, aims at the abrogation of theart. 842 of the civil code, which states that “The owner of a land cannot prevent entry for hunting purposes, unless the fund is closed in the manner established by the hunting law or there are crops in place susceptible to damage ", but also the part that rightly allows the owner to prohibit anyone not authorized to enter his property.
In short, hunters out, but anyone else free to enter at will on the private property of others! “Evidently, not seeing attainable the goal they had set themselves long ago with the same procedure aimed at eliminating the entire hunting law, the huntsmen try again with a less ambitious project and in their opinion obviously easier "declared the President of Federcaccia Massimo Buconi. “For our part, in addition to seeing confirmed our strong doubts about the possibility, especially at this moment, of reaching the necessary signatures, we will carefully follow the progress of the initiative. We have already contacted friends parliamentarians and the leaders of agricultural associations.
What these groups of inexperienced always in pursuit of an anti-hunt utopia that clashes with common sense and reality, is that the hunting exercise, which in Italy is articulated around 842, constitutes first of all for farmers, or 90 % of the owners of the funds you are talking about, a fundamental and absolutely irreplaceable barrier to prevent damage to crops, livestock and the control of invasive species. Even to this umpteenth attack, if it materializes and everything remains to be demonstrated, we will be able to respond as happened in the past”Concluded the national president Federcaccia.
