These days, some authoritative media outlets are spreading the news that the Promoting Committee of the Referendum against hunting, would have (it seems) reached the limit of 500.000 signatures necessary to start the referendum procedure. For months, we have been monitoring the progress of this new one campaign against hunting and we will continue to do so. It is understood that the signatures collected will be subjected to scrutiny by the Court of Cassation which, as is known, will be responsible for the control. At the moment we want to reiterate that out of respect for all citizens and democratic and constitutional procedures, extensions to the times established for the delivery of signatures must be prevented.
No derogatory advantage will therefore be granted to the promoters! At the same time, we are working to ensure compliance with democratic rules. In addition, legal work continues for the assessment of individual questions from a constitutional point of view and on the necessary preventive actions to be undertaken. As we have been repeating for some time, hunting will be increasingly exposed to future attacks not only because there may be yet another referendum at the gates but for the set of many initiatives, daughters of the animalist and pseudo environmentalist cultural drift.
For this reason and since the birth of the experience of Confederation of Tuscan Hunters, we worked every day to overcome the defensive and self-referential swamp in which the hunting world seems to have ended. As we have always said, unity on content and precise rules of all hunters and the creation of a new strong and authoritative subject who knows not only to defend our legitimate passion but also to re-credit it in society, for the role and functions of general interest, becomes more than ever not postponable.
In order not to end up like the "chickens of the Tramaglino" you have to get out of the shallows, from tired tactical liturgies and to assume, each for what he represents, the necessary responsibilities, with courage and foresight. So that it is not an imminent danger to make us discover the reasons for the unity of the hunting world e the requests that the base of hunters have been soliciting at the top for years, it is necessary to act now and immediately, with facts and without further postponements (Source: CCT).
