What makes the difference between a civilized person and an uncivilized person? Simple, respect. Respect for the ideas of others, for the values of others, for the behavior of others and also and above all for the people of others. Over the years we have suffered several times, without excessive complaints, several hostile episodes towards the hunting world but at this point the doubt of being wrong, in our good-natured acquiescence, emerges profoundly and legitimately. If for years we have accepted, suffering in silence, because the dead were our friends, to read and hear these sensitive souls mourning the deaths of poor defenseless animals, mocking and celebrate hunting incidents in which the hunters lost their life, or their health, if for years we had to see subjects who do not distinguish a chamois from a lizard go up to the chair to dispense lessons in environmentalism and nature and city parks, now the time to say enough seems to have come.
The images of this country chapel, whose only fault is that it is dedicated to hunters, messed with spray paint praising the end of the hunt, cries out for vengeance. Beyond the architectural and cultural value of the building, the respect for the Faith of those who erected it and keeps it in good condition, it is the gratuitous contempt for the opinions of others and the barbaric way in which it is expressed that offends and prevents us from keeping silent. . Because, on the other hand, what we hunters has never lacked is respect. Respect for nature in which we spend hours and hours a day, day after day, every month of the year, hunting, of course, but above all to monitor, supervise, survey wildlife and often also to trace new paths, keep in order old people, build walkways and clean up the waste from the wood that certain "environmentalists" leave scattered everywhere after their Sunday raids.
But our detractors do not say this, even though they know it very well, and we have never stressed it enough. But it is precisely in the name of that respect that fills your mouth too much and your actions too little, pseudo-environmental vandals, that the hunters will be the ones to clean up and restore the dignity it deserves to that chapel. We do not pretend to teach anyone anything, but let it be clear that we refuse to accept lessons of any kind from seedy characters like those who have carried out this infamous act (Two respectful Federcacciatori - alas perhaps too much - Dominic BECCARIA e Guido DELLA ROVERE).
