Hunting: ANLC Umbria on the Hunting Calendar 2013-14, criticizes the choices of the Region that instead of accepting the suggestions of hunters has decided to do the opposite, "playing to the downside".
To keep faith with the label of "integralist and non-aligned" Association, we publish a preview of the full text of the Hunting calendar for the 2013/2014 season approved (to avoid last-minute second thoughts and suggestions) by the Regional Council of Umbria. An Act of the Executive that we do not like, which has "rejected" our suggestions in its entirety, which has refused "upward" mediation for the hunting world and which has instead invented "downward" solutions, making the two meetings of the Faunal Hunting Consultation and the Audition with the III Council Commission. Considered as a "blasphemy" the single opening proposal, we are granted only one hunting day from stalking in pre-opening (1 September), total stop of the hunting activity until 15 September, refused the mediation to allow the September 8 also the collection of quail and sedentary game, rejected the alternative of allowing also on September 8 the taking of hunting species alone on September 1, no extension of the hunting day by 15 minutes, ignoring the request to bring forward the hunt for wild boar species to Sunday 29 September, dry NO to the equalization of the opening on September 15th both in the Wildlife-Hunting Companies and in the Agro-Touristic-Hunting Companies, denied the correct interpretation of the maximum time frame, which requires the early termination of the hunting collection for huntable species from September 1st .
At the same time, the hunt for female Pheasant closes on November 30 (but not in Private Institutes of course) and as a "sop" the Council has extended the hunting of the Hare species from 8 to 15 September, all to presumably reiterate that the Regional Council, Department, III ^ Permanent Council Commission and the Regional Hunting Office go straight on their way ... full stop !!!
At the end of the highly "democratic and participatory" path chosen by Palazzo Cesaroni, We receive news that in the Bill that should positively close (for the hunting world) the thorny issue of kennels and criminal disputes that have caused the owners of the dogs to be damned (only the hunting ones of course), an Annex is about to be cleverly inserted that would extend the Presidential mandates of the ATCs until 31 DECEMBER 2013, already extended with a special law until 31 May, despite the early months of the current year having largely expired.
The Regional Council of Umbria therefore attempts to equate the Presidents of the Territorial Areas of Hunting who are already in their third term with "Senators for life", granted them by an equally "clever" modification and interpretation of the Regulations, bypassing the democratic and participatory confrontation with the Associations perhaps for fear that the news will be disclosed? We of the Free Hunt disclose it… and let's see what happens !!!
