During an audition in Regional Council of Piedmont, the Arci Caccia association contested the proposal to ban the hunting on Sundays and on holidays. The meeting took place this morning, while the Regional Council is continuing the examination of the design of reads 182, which reforms the discipline of hunting in Piedmont. A hearing of animal rights associations is scheduled for next week.
The Piedmontese manager Arci Caccia, Remo Calcagno, placed at the center of the reasoning the proposal of the M5s, Sel and Article1 groups regarding the ban on Sundays and holidays and, claiming the mediation role played throughout the legislative process of the provision of the regional councilor, asked for the withdrawal of specific amendments. “We have strong doubts about the real usefulness of such a ban, which certainly does not help the management of the fauna, much less the safeguarding of people's safety.
Indeed, conditioned by a clear ideological imprint, such a decision would end up expelling many practitioners, despite the hunt being authorized by state law, ”Calcagno said. The negative repercussions, according to the association, “in the first place are those on employment, given that they operate in Piedmont over 140 wildlife-hunting companies, with about five hundred people employed. In addition to game farms, territorial areas and Alpine districts would also be damaged, already suffering from the lack of sufficient funds ".
