“They found them in front of me, there were four of them, they told me they are a murderer and a thug - says the enthusiast -. They were like wild beasts. Their faces were distorted, only their eyes were visible ». The hunter therefore preferred to go home. He later returned to his shed, finding it destroyed. A similar case involved another hunter along the bank of the Dioma stream, always addressed by animal rights activists. The man called 113 and the police officers of the police station intervened at the place of the report. A third contact took place again in the Biron di Sotto area, where some enthusiasts, who were proceeding with their hounds, were offended by the activists. Also in this case the hunters preferred to get away.
The last episode, in the territory of Monteviale, saw as the protagonist a Costabissara hunter who was in his hut. The animal rights activists have approached, but this time they have moved on to ways in fact. In fact, the group freed four larks from the cages, while some tugged at the hunter. In the end, the man filed a complaint with the Dueville carabinieri. An inspection was also carried out by the provincial police agents, who are currently examining the cases and carrying out investigations. It is not the first time that there has been an incursion of fundamentalist groups in the area: last year, in November, other activists were involved in a similar raid.
On that occasion, the perpetrators had been identified by the police. This year, however, from the opening of the hunting season, these are the first episodes. The fear is that the group may strike again. «We are worried by these situations - explains the commander of the provincial police of Vicenza Claudio Meggiolaro -. There is a fear that someone may react recklessly. Fortunately, people are reasonable; in any case, in the face of episodes like these, we recommend that all hunters be careful and notify the public force "(The Journal of Vicenza).

Dear Commander Meggiolaro, if on returning home you were surrounded by four hooded subjects who threaten you, would you suspect that it could be four criminals ready to harm you and rob you? I do, if while I am in the woods hunting, four misrepresented dressed in black approach me threateningly, even tugging at me. So, if in such a situation, I fired a couple of shots at their address, I would not call it a reckless reaction, but self-defense. Same thing, if you, in the analogous situation described above, take out the service weapon and throw a couple on the ground. Dear Commander, it's easy to talk from behind your desk. Yours sincerely.
