Arci Caccia: the annual meeting of the hunting association took place on 30 July 2015 in Recoaro Terme (VI).
The annual public assembly promoted by the ARCI Club took place in Recoaro Terme, Province of Vicenza, on Thursday 30 July 2015 Hunting, now a traditional appointment to address the issues concerning the national and regional hunting world, both the oldest and unresolved ones, and the most current ones. The Provincial President Gian Emilio Coltro was absent this year for health reasons, and the warm greetings of the Assembly went to him. The speaker of the evening was Giuliano Ezzelini Storti Regional President and National Vice President.
The introductory report was in-depth and exhaustive of all the topics now to the attention of hunters and consequent to the application of regional, national and European laws. Following the works there was an audience of more than 100 enthusiasts who filled the room granted by the Oratory of the country. Appreciation came from the audience on the memorandum of understanding signed between ARCI Caccia, Federcaccia and ANUU and other stakeholders. When the National Vice President Ezzelini underlined the first, concrete results of the work of the Environmental Sector, it aroused interest and appreciation.
The collaboration with ISPRA and relations with universities, the enhancement of the culture of food traditions linked to game and the construction of a database of ungulates were the Projects ?? presented to the Assembly. A wide network, supported by collaborations in scientific research and which finds together on shared proposals the manufacturers of sporting weapons and other stakeholders, primarily farmers, to try to take the hunter out of the corner.
The cultural battle against the Society for the re-evaluation of the role of hunting, too often reduced to the hunter-destroyer equation, we are in a position to promote it to marginalize our detractors. Consent has also obtained the convinced will of ARCI Caccia to create a unitary path to give strength to the Federation of National Hunting Associations to be built in each Region and for which others have too many hesitations. Will it be possible to go further with a new hunting association other and different from the current one? Will there be new forms of representation, interpreters and syntheses of the different hunting interests?
The conditions to make this turning point are there, it will be necessary for the FIdC to abandon the nostalgia of the old and sterile single model of 1942 to face the future with a new, democratic one, where the vote of the member counts, which starts from zero and is completely new . To do this, the coherence of the FIdC is necessary, which has repeatedly announced and decided its self-dissolution and which has the duty to implement it and soon under the new statute after years, its national governing bodies have deliberated in vain on the matter. .
Bitterness among the defendants instead caused the news that for this year, due to the final vote of the Parliament, the Roccoli for the capture of live calls for hunting use will not be opened. The hope expressed in the report refers to the Agenda approved at the same time as the Community Law, testifies to the contradictions of the policy and helps to keep open the opening on which the Associations, including ARCI Caccia will continue to work. It is certain, to be honest, that compared to last year, Parliament has narrowed down the possibility of a perspective even more.
Speaking of regional policies, Ezzelini's intervention emphasized the fact that the 2015/2016 Veneto Hunting Calendar is the same as last year, despite the fact that the one who for decades has announced that he is the savior of hunting sits in the Regional Council. he also underlined the inconsistency of others who are silent today and who in past years criticized barking at the moon. We confirm our judgment on the calendar and that, unfortunately, it does not project itself into the future. The wish of the ARCI Caccia is: new Regional Council, new life. Then work together regardless of the past so that, with a sense of responsibility, the rules of hunting in Veneto are improved; who is not there, is excluded.
The final discussion focused on local issues and on the fact that, despite the fact that Recoaro imagined having an administration "friendly" to hunters, in the PAT intervention plans The Mayor and the Councilor have well thought of complicating life to fans protected by "Diana" ??. ARCI Caccia with the other associations is working locally to improve and change the mayor's mind in the interest of the territory.
A beautiful Assembly, full of content and dialogue, even a nice touch of color. A group from the Associazione Cacciatori Veneti - CONFAVI participated in the Assembly of the ARCI Caccia, who intervened trying to contest the irrefutable results and facts reported in the report: the best answer was the cheerful chatter that overcame the controversy. If a hunting political line works and unmasks the failures of the false prophets who care about membership and not about hunting and hunters, let the demagogues and storytellers who still stir in the hunting world come to terms with it.
