Passion hunting - A sharp acceleration occurred at Brussels relating to the so-called Weapons Directive, the tragic facts of Paris first, and then of the Belgian capital itself, albeit absolutely unrelated to a correct and legal transport e use of weapons, have placed the question among the most urgent. In these cases the risk, in the wake of emotion and the consequent pressure of public opinion, is to create further restrictions on legitimate gun users without any objective reason but only to give a kind of sop to the media and people. As you are kamikaze terrorists went to buy what they need in armory. In Italy an initiative of popular law which tends to exacerbate the penalties for those who illegitimately introduceother people's property and simultaneously abolishes the culpable excess of self-defense. Signatures can be collected until May 31 but at the moment in each municipality they tell you a different thing and it is really difficult to be able to sign. Here too uncertainty and confusion reigns supreme.
With the abolition of the provinces and the progressive transfer of competences, for example, in the Lazio region, the subject #hunting it passed directly to the Region. The result is that at the moment we are experiencing enormous chaos, for one thing, the plans have not yet been provided containment of wild boars, therefore at the moment the levy in order to limit agricultural damage is blocked. The Region has not yet equipped anything to absorb the competences on hunting fishery, on the other hand, the various former provinces wash their hands of it saying that they can do nothing about it. In the meantime, the deadlines for submitting applications for admission in the districts expire and it is not known what will end the training courses already scheduled and so on. However, there is someone who has really clear ideas, and that this confusion suits them just fine. They are the anti-hunt which, as always, have common intentions and economic resources to spend. You will not have missed the neo vegan movement that many already define #nazi vegan. Other Taliban, fundamentalists who want to impose their own way of seeing the world at all costs. They know the mechanics of communication well and forcefully pass their messages, now professing eternal love for the poor lamb or fox cub, now with intimidating and violent actions towards anyone who thinks differently from them. See for example thephysical assault towards Cruciani della Zanzara guilty, according to them, to be in favor of salami!
The political situation on the other hand does not bode well. We are in the middle of the electoral campaign and no one has sided in favor of our world, to be able to identify "friends" you have to interpret the statements, read between the lines, hope you have understood correctly. Always with the uncertainty that they will not turncoats, and we have plenty of cases: Di Pietro, Fini, Berlusconi himself, just to name a few. On the front #anti-hunt on the other hand, the ranks of those who have declared it openly are large. At the head of the Five Star Movement, starting with its leaders Grillo and Casaleggio, it has included among the foundations of their policy theabolition of hunting and hunters. Even in the ranks of the PD is no better, among the various currents the anti-hunts declared are wasted, Cirinnà in the lead, on the other hand there is not one, but I say one, who has sided in favor of hunting. On the other side, the situation is certainly not better: the positions of Brambilla are now known to all, Berlusconi himself tries to flutter here and there just like the flag of his symbol.
Finally there is us: the world of hunters. Quarrelsome and touchy, to be good, otherwise I could say of someone even in bad faith. We just can't get together, we argue about everything: if we have to go hunting with the dog or not, if you have to use a rifle or another. In a while we will also argue about what underwear to wear for an "ethical hunt". I was recently attacked for making a documentary on traditional hunting in Friuli Venezia Giulia, province of Udine, that is, in the only Italian province where it is possible hunting ungulates with the follow dog. As a reporter I tried to provide all the tools of knowledge to be able to form an opinion and calmly judge whether to agree or not on this form of hunting. But nothing, the Taliban who nestle among us hunters (fortunately few) have said all sorts of things.
In a climate of confusion like the one in which we are living and with the constant attacks that come from all over, can we at least make a common front? Defend our values and our passion? I hope so and I work for it every day.
Good luck to all.
