The work of review and update of the regional legislation on hunting activities and the definition of the guidelines for the new one Regional Hunting Wildlife Plan, is continuing despite the pre-Christmas period. In these days, despite the constructive effort that aims to overcome some critical issues affecting wildlife management, the relationship with the agricultural world and a new planning on the institutional front, there is an air full of attacks and controversies.
To a long series of events and shameful attacks, some of which are already under the monitoring of our legal staff, today is added the fatal accident that occurred. in the province of Siena, which has reopened and re-ignited an unprecedented climate of media attack. To a serious problem such as that of hunting safety and how to strengthen the commitment of the hunting world with a sense of responsibility, to reduce or rather annihilate the risks of accidents during hunting, one can ride on the part of the usual suspects, a human tragedy to re-propose yet another campaign of hatred towards an activity that has a far lower number of fatal accidents than other outdoor activities.
These are the days in which also thanks to the contribution of Confederation of Tuscan Hunters and its exponents, we have managed for now to stop and oppose the initiative of some parliamentarians in which the establishment of the “Rangers hired by the state” was proposed to ensure wildlife control operations. Activities, which we recall, are now carried out by thousands of hunters authorized by law and at no cost. Dangerous proposals that go hand in hand with others recently advanced by some agricultural associations that re-propose the repeal and the overcoming of art. 842 of the civil code.
