The collection of signatures begins and with it also the falsehoods used by animal-environmentalists against hunters. Animal rights activists claim that the hunters cause environmental damage, the shells come abandoned in the woods. The answer to these falsehoods: Hunters love their woods because they are their home, the shells are not abandoned but collected with care and every year, after the hunting season, the hunters are all together to clean up the woods and of the countryside, also removing the waste abandoned by animal-environmentalists. Animal rights activists claim that millions of euros of public money are spent every year on wildlife restocking.
The answer to these falsehoods: Wildlife restocking is carried out using minimal resources paid annually by hunters in government and regional taxes and access dues to Territorial Areas of Hunting and Alpine Areas. So the repopulations are carried out with the money of the hunters and not of the community. Animal rights activists claim that hunters abandon their dogs at the end of the hunting season. The answer to these falsehoods: Hunters love their four-legged friends, do not abandon their dog pretending the hunting season because a friend of adventures never abandons himself.
Animal rights activists claim that hunters violently raise their children causing them serious psychological damage. The answer to these falsehoods: Remember that hunters are Serie A citizens with a perfectly clean criminal record, which pass on an important part of our history, our culture and our traditions to future generations. The hunters teach to know and therefore to respect, remembering the right ways to guarantee a correct management of the fauna and natural habitats. Those who criticize hunting and its practitioners should be reminded that one must know before one feels entitled to criticize.
