The controversy and the "question and answer" continue on the question of hunting in derogation for non-huntable species, suspended in the region by the TAR of the Veneto in the period 6 to 19 October.
October 10, 2011 - The President of ACV - CONFAVI, Maria Cristina Caretta, responds indignantly to the statements on the matter of the FIDC Veneto Regional President, Flavio Tosi, contained in a press release from Federcaccia.
In reading the press release from the regional President Federcaccia as well as the Northern League mayor of Verona, Flavio Tosi, I doubt that what it contains is not his own flour but "so much so" since he signed it, I answer him. I believe that on the exceptions in Veneto those who preceded the current regional councilor for hunting have been able to demonstrate well that they defend hunters.
From 2002 to 2008 we carried out the sampling by way of derogation by law, which no longer occurred with the advent of the new alleged "champions" of hunting. But the mayor of Verona, in his press release, would like to discharge the responsibility for the suspension of the resolution on the exceptions of the current season by the TAR, to the challenge of last year's resolution by the national government decided by the Council of Ministers; as if your political party, the league, were not present in the Council of Ministers.
The difference between myself and Mr. Flavio Tosi is that I don't live in politics, I have my own job and I don't belong to any party. I am a hunting manager and as such I am a syndicate for hunters. Can the mayor of Verona say the same?
I will say more, I do not care which political party our representatives belong to within the institutions, but I expect that if they hold a position representing the hunting world, they will bring home concrete results for hunters.
I am outraged by so much hypocrisy, some politicians are ready to sell off the hunt for a handful of votes, they are ready to further divide what remains of the hunting world to manage it at their convenience. Lies upon lies and… zero results.
In Veneto, with the regional councilor for hunting, the Northern League Stival, we have a scandalous hunting calendar, a resolution on suspended exemptions and… what else do you want to do? Hunters are tired, tired of paying more and more to hunt less and less, tired of witnessing these hypocrisies, tired of being made fun of.
If I were today in the shoes of certain politicians I would not sleep peacefully because history does not repeat itself, what for years many politicians have taken for granted in the future will no longer be guaranteed.
And I assure you that for many of these that future has already arrived!
