In these times of Covid, planetary emergency, animal welfare associations do not miss an opportunity to express their ideological and extremist positions which, without any scientific approach, even starting from the most disparate approaches, they always manage to converge only on the request for close the hunt. Interesting demonstration of this phenomenon are the two articles that you find attached. The first, extracted from the newspaper l'Arena, contains the statements of the head of an animal rights association, who applauds the money wasted by the Veneto Region to defend itself from the appeals presented by the associations of theanimal rights extremism, and continues asking for restrictions on hunting, allegedly at risk of spreading the virus.
Well, we can not help but think that, the funds used by Veneto region to defend themselves from the annual legal animal rights attack, in times of emergency, they would certainly have found better employment. We must also reiterate that hunting is a low-contagious activity (takes place individually and outdoors) which is already subject to numerous restrictions in Italy, especially in the orange and yellow areas, while it continues without problems, in compliance with anti-contagion rules, in the vast majority of European countries. The association's press release seems even more grotesque to us LAV. For the self-styled champions of antivivisection, animal rights to the bone, who make antispecism a flag, the spread of swine fever is not a problem, as it is a non-communicable disease to humans.
You got it right, since only wild boars and pigs from farms will die, the problem does not exist, and therefore it is useless to implement the virus containment protocols. In order to spite hunters and breeders, it may be good for an entire economic sector to fall to its knees and for thousands of heads of a wild species to die unnecessarily. After reading these contents, you will see that you too, like us, will be convinced of the fact that hunters are the first among environmentalists, naturally at the forefront of the nature conservation. On the contrary, those who declare the protection of the environment as a goal, are only able to take hold of ideological and intransigent positions that risk damaging, rather than safeguarding, what they had set out to defend.
